The Pittsburgh Penguins honored Ben Roethlisberger in a "Big" way Tuesday.

Roethlisberger dropped the ceremonial puck before the Penguins game against the New York Rangers at PPG Paints Arena.

The Penguins also sported special warm up jerseys with Roethlisberger's No. 7 and name on the back.

Sidney Crosby congratulated Roethlisberger on his retirement in a video message.

The former NFL quarterback called it a career in January after 18 seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Roethlisberger won two Super Bowls with the Steelers.
Not a terrible way to be honored.
