"You don't win the Stanley Cup. I didn't win the Stanley Cup tonight. I got to share it" - Paul Maurice The more laps I take around the sun, the more I'm convinced that the greatest joy we can experience as humans is to go through challenges and adversity with a group of people in search of a common goal, and come out victorious on the other side. I never fail to get goose bumps hearing the players and staff of the Stanley Cup Champions thank their families, loved ones and teammates during the post game celebrations. It remains my favourite moment of the NHL season. Congrats to the @FlaPanthers and especially HC Paul Maurice for finally getting to raise Lord Stanley's Cup! @TheCoachesSite

Be a game changer. @MHSAA @MichHSHockey
