Stanley got to spend his long weekend on the lake with some old friends.

While Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Alec Martinez was celebrating the third Stanley Cup championship of his career on his boat in Michigan on Wednesday, he ran into former Detroit Red Wings forward Kris Draper, who won the Cup four times himself.

Before winning the Cup with the Golden Knights this past season, Martinez won the Cup with the Los Angeles Kings in 2012 and 2014. Draper won each of his championships with the Red Wings (1997, 1998, 2002, 2008).

The two met up on Martinez's boat for a photo with their old friend Stanley.

That's someone who's worth keeping in touch with.
