I den turbulenta tid som råder med åsikter för och emot den kontroversielle presidenten Donald Trump var det kanske inte ett helt givet beslut, men Pittsburgh meddelade på söndagen att man kommer följa traditionen och göra ett återbesök i maktens korridorer precis som vid tidigare titlar.
"The Pittsburgh Penguins respect the institution of the Office of the President, and the long tradition of championship teams visiting the White House. We attended White House ceremonies after previous championships - touring the historic building and visiting briefly with Presidents George H.W. Bush and Barack Obama - and have accepted an invitation to attend again this year.
Any agreement or disagreement with a president's politics, policies or agenda can be expressed in other ways. However, we very much respect the rights of other individuals and groups to express themselves as they see fit", meddelar klubben via sin hemsida.
