Who is this Phil Kessel that I've been hearing so much about? I see that he plays for the Penguins 
Phil Kessel is an American professional ice hockey player, he plays for the Pittsburgh Penguins, he use to play for the Toronto Maple Leafs
The Penguins are the team with that super famous player that everyone loves? Crosby?
Yes, that is right! He is actually one of my favorite players too, he scored the winning Olympic gold medal for Canada in 2010.
Is he the new Wayne G? The Great One, part 2?
I am not too sure, but I do know that Kessel also plays for Arizona Coyotes of the National Hockey League as a winger and alternate captain
Kessel seems to be a player in demand. How long has he been in the league?
i believe he's been in the NHL since 2006
What is the average number of years that players are in the NHL? Seems like 13-16 seasons would be enough.
