Florida Panthers coach Paul Maurice's journey to the Stanley Cup has been anything but smooth.

Once the last player picked in the NHL draft, Maurice never made it to the league as a player and often wondered if he'd ever see his name on the Stanley Cup. Tonight, it happened.
After 1,985 games, 939 wins, four different franchises, a team relocation, three firings, Maurice finally reached the pinnacle of his career. At 57, he can now say his name will be engraved on the silver trophy. The Panthers defeated the Edmonton Oilers 2-1 in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday, winning the cup for the first time in franchise history.
«It's for my mom and dad in Sault Ste. Marie. Hey dad, your name is going on the Cup with Beliveau, Richard, Howe, and Maurice.»

Congrats Paul Maurice! 👏
Maurice came a long way but didn't forget where he came from, shouting out the Winnipeg Jets during the celebration.
If I could have one thing more, it would be for the Winnipeg Jets to win the next Stanley Cup.
Florida's 2-1 victory over Edmonton in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday night sealed the deal.
Paul Maurice gets the Cup mid-interview and then gives one of the most heartfelt interviews you will ever see ❤️
His lifetime of hard work and perseverance has paid off, and soon, "Paul Maurice" will be etched into the silver and nickel band for the hockey world to see for decades to come.
