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.
