Penguins release statement about White House visit

The Pittsburgh Penguins have released an official statement about their upcoming visit to the White House. This statement comes at a time where controversy is stemming from the #TakeaKnee movement happening on social media criticizing President Donald Trump's recent comments towards the NFL and NBA. 

The team's statement was short and sweet and stated that they will be in attendance:

"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."
