Kris Letang is a Masterton Trophy finalist!

Congrats Kris, this an awesome honor, can’t wait to see the NHL Awards this summer smile emoticon ! The Masterton trophy is awarded to the NHL player who “best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey.” I couldn’t agree more with that, but I think we all very biased. He’s in good company with other nominees: Devan Dubnyk and Andrew Hammond!

“Letang was selected as the Penguins’ Masterton nominee, given to the player who “best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey,” by the local media in back-to-back seasons (2014, ’15) for his incredible return from a stroke, suffered in January 2014.”  Source
