Jarvis brings Stanley Cup to where it all began

Seth Jarvis and Lord Stanley made quite the homecoming after winning the Stanley Cup, with thousands of fans lining up to welcome them. Some even waited before sunrise to get a glimpse of the iconic trophy. The Winnipeg community welcomed Jarvis with open arms, sporting jerseys from Tuxedo Lightning, Team Canada, and the Carolina Hurricanes.

Jarvis arrived in a Chevrolet 1300, lifting the 35-pound mug above his head for the fans below. The Tuxedo Community Centre, where Jarvis began his storied career, saw fans from all walks of life lining up to meet the champion and touch the cup. Long-time fan Chris Cochrene arrived at 5:30 a.m. to be first in line and was delighted to see the Stanley Cup up close.

Jarvis's son, Ray, was grateful that Winnipeg was the city that nurtured his son's hockey career. Jarvis fondly remembered practicing at the rink countless hours, cherishing the memories and the community's support. Jarvis's love for hockey and his dedication to giving back to his hometown were evident throughout the day, as he brought the Stanley Cup to the Children's Hospital as well.
