"It's unbelievable to see so many young hockey players, giving them the chance to see the Cup and hopefully inspire them to work hard and strive for your dreams," Kulikov said. "This is truly special for me. I wanted to do that because I knew how much that would mean to me as a young player, not only to see a professional hockey player but to get a chance to see the Cup it's a hundred times more special. I hope they had a great time out there on the ice."

Later, Kulikov took the Cup on a boat and then to a dinner with family and friends.

"It's great," he said. "I'm really happy to be here."

Roberto Luongo, Special Advisor to General Manager

Luongo brought the Stanley Cup to his childhood rink in Saint-Leonard, Quebec.

In addition to being a champion, the rink being named after him is certainly an extra flex.

After wrapping up his Hall of Fame career, he joined Florida's front office in 2019.

Aug. 20

At the end of the day, everyone got to eat some sweet treats out of the silver and nickel alloy bowl.

“It was awesome to see,” the veteran sniper told NHL.com. “Bringing it here and seeing all the kids’ reactions … some of them can’t speak because they’re so starstruck from the Cup. It’s awesome. That’s what it’s all about.”

The Ontario native then took the Cup for a round on the links and some quality family time.

"It's so hard to do, and so few do it," the 10-year veteran defenseman told NHL.com. "To understand that and feel the weight of what we've done and how amazing it is to be a champion and win this trophy is incredible."

"There’s a lot of emotions right now," Stenlund told NHL.com. "Friends and family are here, and everyone else I know. There are many people here who I have known for a long time and who have always stood up for me. ... It’s really emotional and it means a lot to me."

Aug. 3

Patric Hornqvist, Scouting and Development Consultant

After winning the Stanley Cup twice as a player, Hornqvist is still winning in the front office.

Trading in his skates for a suit and tie following the end of his 15-year career in the NHL, the 37-year-old forward, who took the ice for the Panthers from 2020-2023 and was an integral part of the team’s cultural changes, spent his third date with the Cup back home with his family in Sweden.

Right on the water, Hornqvist’s kids filled the Cup with some of their favorite candy.

“There is a big difference between being on the ice and being in the management suite,” Hornqvist, who won back-to-back Stanley Cups with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2016 and 2017, told NHL.com. “On the ice, you can control what happens... I scored the game winning goal in one of the finals with Pittsburgh and you can't compare that to what it's like to win from the stands. But still, both as a player and as a leader, the Stanley Cup is the finest prize you can win in hockey. To win it as part of the management... well, the big thing for me was to see the joy on the ice when the players got to lift the Cup."

Aug. 2

Gustav Forsling

Florida's shutdown defenseman took to the skies during his day with the Stanley Cup.

"I felt pretty early that Florida was a good option," Ekman-Larsson told NHL.com. "They had been in the Stanley Cup Final the year before and I felt that they had the experience and the players that was needed, so at the end it turned out to be a great choice. It's easy to say after, but here we are."

July 31

Aleksander Barkov

Some people bring the Stanley Cup to their city.

Aleksander Barkov used his day with the Cup to make his own city.

After taking the trophy to a few special stops around his hometown of Tampere, Finland, Barkov, the first Finn to ever captain a team to the Stanley Cup, held a lively jam-packed celebration with numerous special guests at Nokia Arena in front of roughly 15,000 fans.

In addition to having teammates Anton Lundell, Eetu Luostarinen and Niko Mikkola on stage with him at the event, dozens of other players from Finland’s past and present sent in messages, as did a few former NHL legends such as Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux.

As the best golfer on the Panthers, you knew Reinhart would bring the Cup to the course.

Making two stops during his day with Lord Stanley in his hometown of West Vancouver, British Columbia, he first brought it to Hollyburn Country Club to share it with old friends and coaches.

Hollyburn was where Reinhart and his brothers, Max and Griffin, learned to skate.

After that, he took the Cup to Capilano Golf and Country Club to play a few holes with his family, including his father Paul, who played 11 seasons in the NHL and was a two-time All-Star.

“Hollyburn was always going to be the first stop,” Reinhart told NHL.com. “Honestly, you get into a good situation the last couple years and you can kind of see it, you start envisioning it and then it's tough not to think about what you'd do with it, and how you'd spend your time, and once I started really thinking about it a little bit, this was always on the list. I wanted to come play a couple of holes and share it with the membership here. I'm going to come up for the rest of my life and remember this day.”

Reinhart scored 10 goals during the playoffs, including netting the game-winner against the Oilers in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final.

July 25

Lorentz used his day with the Stanley Cup to brighten the day of others.

It seems like every resident of the Six Nations of the Grand River reserve turned out to celebrate with Montour.

Of Mohawk descent, Montour brought the Cup back to Ohsweken, a village inside Six Nations, which has the highest population of any First Nation in Canada, on Wednesday.

“I mean, you can't really describe how it feels," Montour told NHL.com. "Just very grateful and obviously honored to kind of be in the position I'm in and, obviously, to win at this level, you can't beat it.”

In Ohsweken, hundreds of fans lined the two-mile parade route that ended at the village's local arena.

"To see how many people showed up for me at the community hall, it was amazing," Montour said.

In 24 playoff games, Montour recorded 11 points (three goals, eight assists).

Now, he’s a Stanley Cup champion.

For his day with the Cup, the hockey lifer shared it with family and fans in Lewiston, New York.

“I’m just happy to be able to give back,” Dudley told NHL.com. “I’ve lived here for the best part of my life really and, to be honest, it’s the first time I’ve had a real chance to give something back.”

Dudley joined the Panthers in his current role on Sept. 15, 2020.

July 22

Josh Mahura

After being the Oilers, Mahura brought the Stanley Cup to their backyard.

Mahura appeared in 30 regular-season games with the Panthers in 2023-24.

July 22

Les Jackson, Senior Advisor to General Manager

After roughly three decades in the NHL, Jackson finally getting his name on the Stanley Cup was certainly sweet.

So sweet, in fact, that his family filled it with ice dream during his day with the Cup in Weyburn, Saskatchewan.

Jackson initially joined the Panthers as a professional scout in 2020.

July 19

Kyle Okposo

After waiting 17 season for hoist the Stanley Cup, what was a few more hours?

Despite having his celebration delayed just a bit due to complications created by the global IT outage that delayed flights around the world, the veteran forward finally got to hoist the Cup over his head during a party in his home state of Minnesota.

Following a trade to the Panthers in March, Okposo dished out two assists in 17 playoff games.

July 17-18

Matthew Tkachuk

The Panthers star forward packed a lot in during his two days with the Stanley Cup.

Helping the Panthers earn home-ice in the playoffs, he went 16-7-2 with a .925 save percentage during the regular season.

July 15

Sunny Mehta, Assistant General Manager & Head of Analytics

It's no surprise that a numbers guy brought Lord Stanley to school.

As part of his day with the Cup, Mehta went back to his alma mater, Ramapo High School in New Jersey.

“If a Jersey kid like me, son of immigrant parents, kid who had very mediocre athletic skills, to be honest, if I can be standing here with the Stanley Cup, know that if you dream big, you never know what’s possible,” he told the students, according to NHL.com.

Mehta initially joined the Panthers in 2020 as Vice President of Hockey Strategy and Intelligence.

July 14
