Penguins Paparazzi: My Moments with Kris Letang

Hello Penguins fans!

Since I have been asked a few times lately about my meetings with the man of the defensive hour, Kristopher Letang. In order to increase the positive energy for Tanger in his NHL All-Star debut, here is a rundown of the brief moments I have spent with him... I can't say enough about his work ethic he shows at practice and his kindness he shows to fans. Meeting him has only increased my respect for him. He's a great hockey player and a wonderfully beautiful human. :) Here's the scoop:

My Brief Moments with Kris Letang:

1: 12/11/2009: I was totally overwhelmed. This was the first time I was meeting any of the 2009 Stanley Cup Pittsburgh Penguins. Kristopher was in his red Chevy truck, after practice at the Iceoplex. I was speechless. And frozen. It was freezing cold. So cold my Sharpie froze.

2: 12/31/2009: Happy New Year!!! New Years Eve 2009 practice at the Iceoplex. Kris was in his Black BMW. There were a ton of fans there that day too. And even though Kris was the last off the ice, he stayed and signed everything for everyone. He is so super kind to everyone!

3: 3/6/10: The third time was also after Iceoplex practice, my boyfriend Stephen noticed that Kris was out of his cute little BMW taking photos with a lady and her daughter. (Who, by the way are always at practices, bringing him baked goods... I know, weird) Then he jumped back into his car. I was too late, or so I thought. I wasn't brave enough to ask him to get out. Stephen has no fear, so he just asked Kris if he would hop out and take a photo with me too, because he was my favorite player. He shrugged, and hopped out, gave a cute little grin, and posed with me!

4: September 27, 2010: We got lucky and read a tip online that said the Pens were holding an unscheduled practice at the Iceoplex. To our surprise there were less than a dozen fans there, along with a couple of reporters. After a particularly empty practice at the Iceoplex, I got an autograph from Kristopher, and this lovely lovely lovely photo. Love that face. He is always posing for photos... he has that look down, huh? ;P

5: October 20, 2010: After practice at the Iceoplex, before the team was to fly out to Florida to play the Panthers. The boys were dressed up in suits. Even though they had to catch a plane, Kris still stopped to sign my hockey card! Looking good! More Private Practice Photos
