CRANBERRY, Pa. — A little boy from Upper St. Clair who lost everything now has a reason to smile.

The Pittsburgh Penguins invited 7-year-old Bennett Tauch to practice Friday afternoon.

Afterward, he got a new set of hockey gear from captain Sidney Crosby.

The Tauch family has been staying in temporary housing since their home caught fire last Sunday.

"He lost a lot, but I think he was pretty upset about losing his equipment, so I think he's happy to get it back," Crosby said.

The new equipment comes at a good time: Bennett has practice this Sunday.
