Zach Whitecloud and the Stanley Cup were on cloud nine after a warm welcome on Wednesday.

The Vegas Golden Knights defenseman brought the trophy to Sioux Valley Dakota Nation in Manitoba to celebrate with his community.

Whitecloud and Lord Stanley arrived at the powwow grounds on horse and carriage. The defenseman then showed off his shiny companion and let fans touch and pose for pictures with the Cup.

Last month, the Sioux Valley Nation honored Whitecloud with a special sign that reads "Home of Zach Whitecloud 2023 Stanley Cup Champion."

The Golden Knights defenseman is the first NHL player from the Sioux Valley Dakota Nation.
