It has been less than 24 hours since the Florida Panthers clinched the Stanley Cup, the trophy has already taken a warm plunge in the Atlantic Ocean.
After a spirited morning celebration at the Elbo Room Beach Bar in Fort Lauderdale, Panthers star forward Matthew Tkachuk led an enthusiastic group of fans to the ocean’s edge, where he and the Stanley Cup went for a refreshing dip off Fort Lauderdale Beach.
This might be Stanley’s first swim in the Atlantic Ocean. It remains to be seen whether seawater agrees with silver-nickel alloys.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,800 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
