Park Ridge Penguins

Congratulations to our Season 1 Regular Season Most Valuable Player, Vanessa Garippo! Vanessa received an overwhelming percentage of the fan vote AND player vote to run away with the Season 1 MVP Award. Vanessa led the Park Ridge Penguins to the second best regular season record in the CBL, falling just one game short of winning the North Division pennant. Runners up were the Highwood Stallions' Tom Holleman and the Elmwood Park Eagles' Anthony La Barbera. Congratulations to all on a great first season and a fantastic start to their professional careers!

Never a doubt. Never a lack of energy. Always for the good of the team. IYKYK, the Penguins are a unit. Everyone has a role to play on and off the courts. From our practice squad to our starting lineups, the Gang is committed to helping our team rise to any occasion. Congrats to our Franchise, our Empress, Vanessa Garippo, on earning the inaugural Regular Season MVP and a starting spot on the CBL All Star Team. Congrats to our Hype Man, our Secret Weapon, Mickey Niewierowski, on a 2x POTM award as well as a rostered spot on the CBL All Star Team.

We will be back. Waddle. 🐧🧊

Huge thank you to the Peng Gang that showed up, cheered, and rode with us all season. The energy, the support, the belief. You made this run special and we felt it every match.

This team grew, battled, and built something real, and you were a massive part of it. Our season may be over but we are far from done. Waddle Waddle!
