Phillipe Richard Bourque is an American former professional ice hockey player. He was never selected in the NHL Entry Draft; instead, he was signed as a free agent by the Pittsburgh Penguins on October 4, 1982. He is a distant cousin to Hall of Fame defenseman Raymond Bourque.
Who is the old two Niner?
Bourque is lovingly known by Penguins faithful as the Ol' Two-Niner, his Penguins jersey number. Bourque's final segment of the Penguins pre-game broadcasts is known as "Two Minutes with the Ol' Two-Niner." in which Bourque interviews a player, coach, or personality relevant to the upcoming game.
Does Phil Bourque have children?
So far, he said, his children — he has a daughter, Madison, who is 11 and a son, Dylan, who is 9 — do not appear to notice when his memory betrays him. “They're still young, so they're not quite paying attention to stuff like that,” Bourque said.
