Hey Florida Panthers fans, this is your daily reminder you are the Stanley Cup champions. Wear that badge proudly as you coast through the rest of your summer.

If you need any tips, Matthew Tkachuk could help as he’s been hanging out with Stanley himself! Tkachuk spent his day with the Cup in his hometown of ST Louis, and went wild, even allowing a horse to drink out of it.

Tkachuk took the Cup to his old elementary school, Villa Duchesne, where he and his family posed in front of the “Tkachuk Terrace.”

Thursday morning started off epic, with Tkachuk waking up next to the Cup.

Later, he brought the chalice to St. Louis Children’s Hospital, where he posed for pictures and even helped a young patient lift it. The joy on their faces said it all.

Matthew Tkachuk could have used his day with the Stanley Cup to go anywhere.

He chose to share the greatest trophy in sports with his hometown of St. Louis. The Panthers star was bringing smiles to @STLChildrens this morning.

Before arriving in town, Tkachuk was chilling with another champ, three-time Super Bowl winner Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs in Lake Tahoe.

Tkachuk is living his summer like a true champion as he should. He pulled nearly three all-nighters three days after winning the cup and although he’s been hitting the hay lately, the party hasn’t stopped. His dream has finally been realized and the 27 year-old is taking full advantage.
