Florida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad is the first player on the Stanley Cup-winning team to address the crowd, wearing a traffic cone on his head as a party hat for the celebration.
As a swede, feels like a double whammy, ekblad obviously means "oak leaf" in Swedish, and im gonna assume one of his ancestors was Swedish as well, since farmers who didnt pick a son name after their fathers usually named themselves after something close to their farms, like an old tree or creek etc.
Thank You, Aaron Ekblad and the rest of the Florida Panthers, for bringing the Stanley Cup to South Florida!
