Former Kootenay Ice captain Sam Reinhart is a Stanley Cup Champion once again, after the Florida Panther defeated the Edmonton Oilers 5-1 in Game 6.
Reinhart won his first Stanley Cup last season with the Panthers.
The former Ice star was all over the stat sheet in the final game of this year’s playoffs.
Reinhart scored four goals becoming the first person to score four in a final game since Maurice Richard in 1957.
He tallied 11 goals and 12 assists for 23 points in 21 games this postseason.
The accomplishments keep coming for Reinhart. Earlier this week he was named as one of six players confirmed for Team Canada’s roster in the upcoming Winter Olympics.
He’ll be guaranteed to join Sidney Crosby, Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Connor McDavid and Brayden Point barring any injuries.
The rest of the roster will be decided at a later date.
Reinhart played 250 games for the Kootenay Ice over five seasons in Cranbrook.
