Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Montréal, Letang developed with the Val-d’Or Foreurs in Quebec junior hockey. Pittsburgh selected him 62nd overall in 2005. He began the 2006–07 season in the NHL before returning to Val-d’Or, and Canada named him captain for the 2007 World Juniors.
Finding his place.
He captained Canada to World Junior gold in 2007 and earned a place on the tournament all-star team. With Pittsburgh, he became part of the teams that won the Stanley Cup in 2009, 2016 and 2017. In the 2016 Final, he scored the deciding goal in Game 6 against San Jose.
A career built on persistence.
Letang earned NHL Second All-Star Team honors in 2013 and 2016. In 2023, he won the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy after a season in which he returned from a second stroke and mourned his father’s death. The award recognizes perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey.
Beyond the rink.
Coffee is another passion. For Tanger Blend, he worked with Commonplace Coffee on flavors he enjoys, with part of the proceeds supporting Beneficio. The project connects his love of espresso with support for the communities behind the coffee.
