Penguins CEO says team would accept invite to White House

The Pittsburgh Penguins would accept an invitation to the White House to celebrate their Stanley Cup title with President Donald Trump, according to the team's CEO.

"The Pittsburgh Penguins would never turn down a visit to the White House and, if invited, we would go as a team," David Morehouse said Tuesday in a prepared statement obtained by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

The issue of whether to go to Trump's White House has been a hot topic since the election. The NBA champion Golden State Warriors said in a statement Tuesday that the team hasn't decided what to do yet.
