Sam Bennett lifelong dream came full circle this week in Holland Landing, Ontario. The Florida Panthers forward returned home with the Stanley Cup and posed for a photo in front of a poster of the very same trophy that once hung in his childhood bedroom. This time, however, he was holding the real thing.
The visit marked Bennett’s second straight summer with hockey’s most coveted prize, following back-to-back championships with the Panthers. His day with the Cup began at Southlake Regional Health Centre in nearby Newmarket, where he shared the moment with patients. Later, he continued the celebrations Muskoka-style, taking the trophy out on the water while wakeboarding.
