Kris Letang and teammates enjoy team bonding at relaxing and beautiful Banff, Alberta

The Penguins will spend a few days in Banff, Alberta where they will participate in practice at the The Fenlands Banff Recreational Centre Monday before heading to Edmonton to play the Oilers on Tuesday. This trip is a great oppurtunity for team bonding, especially in such a beautiful scenic location.

Kris took photos of him and his teammates around the resort – the views are positively breathtaking.

Here’s the PensInsideScoop article on the time there – Read the full article here  “Our stay is only a couple of days (in Banff),” head coach Mike Sullivan said, “but we thought it was a great opportunity for us to get out west a couple of days early to get acclimated with the time change and give our guys an opportunity to spend some time together.

“What better place than a beautiful place like Banff?”

The road is always the greatest way for teams to forge bonds. While in Pittsburgh many players have families and other responsibilities. But on the road, players will get dinners together, go sightseeing or just hang out.

Kris Letang cares so much about the Penguins, the organization he has won three Stanley Cups with since they drafted him back in 2005. And that’s what Mike Sullivan loves so much about him.

“I sacrifice everything for this team,” Letang said.

“Just his care factor for this organization and helping this team win is off the charts,” Sullivan said.

That’s part of the reason why Letang has been taking the Penguins’ season ending so hard.

When asked to assess his play this postseason on the Penguins’ locker cleanout day last week, the 31-year-old defenseman was critical of his performance – specifically in Game 5 of the Second Round against Washington.
