Seth Jarvis grew up playing hockey at the Tuxedo Community Centre. On Monday, the NHL player brought the Stanley Cup back to the place that played a “massive part” in his development.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The forward won the trophy as a member of the Carolina Hurricanes in June. So many people showed up at Monday’s event that there wasn’t enough time for everyone to get a moment with the NHL champion. <\/p>\n

“I can’t believe the support I’ve gotten, it’s been incredible,” Jarvis told reporters.<\/p>\n

“When I was younger, they gave me the keys to this place. They’d let me keep the lights on and keep the doors open so I could skate as long as I wanted. They’re a massive part of my childhood and a massive part of why I’m here today.”<\/p>\n

Earlier, Jarvis held the trophy in the bed of a pickup truck while it rolled toward the community centre. The 24-year-old was drafted 13th overall by the Hurricanes in 2020 and made his NHL debut in 2021. <\/p>\n

His overtime goal in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup final against the Las Vegas Knights prevented his team<\/a> from falling behind 2-0 in the best-of-seven series. <\/p>\n

Inside the community centre Monday, a crowd erupted in cheers for Jarvis, who also won silver with Team Canada in the 2026 Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

Jarvis started to play hockey at the community centre in south Winnipeg, skating there “for hours and hours,” said his father, Ray Jarvis.<\/p>\n

“It’s an amazing feeling, just knowing how much he’s appreciated and how much he appreciates being from Winnipeg,” Ray said Monday.<\/p>\n

“He had a dream to go to the Olympics [and] to win the Stanley Cup, and to share that journey with them.”<\/p>\n

A lineup of fans waited outside for a moment with Jarvis and the cup.<\/p>\n

Maksym Bialowas was one of them. The 13-year-old said he waited about six hours for a spot near the front of the line.<\/p>\n

Bialowas was excited when the Hurricanes won the cup, a trophy he said represents pride, joy and celebration.<\/p>\n

“It’s hard to describe the emotions. I was so happy and joyful.”<\/p>\n

‘Just wanted to make people smile’<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, Jarvis visited patients at Children’s Hospital with the trophy.<\/p>\n

“I just wanted to make people smile,” he said. “It’s cool, the power that thing has and what it can do for people.”<\/p>\n

Jarvis said it was incredible to share his championship with the community, alongside family and friends and other supporters.<\/p>\n

“You can’t replace home.”<\/p>\n

Brothers Aiden and Trey Medina waited about two hours to meet Jarvis.<\/p>\n

Aiden said it was “very cool” to meet his first NHL player and that the wait was “definitely” worth it.<\/p>\n

Trey said Jarvis is one of his favourite players.<\/p>\n

“It was cool to meet him.”<\/p>\n

Chianne and Sev Ebadi waited 45 minutes to shake hands with Jarvis and touch the cup. The Vancouverites were on the last day of vacation in Sev’s hometown.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been watching hockey my whole life. So, it’s really awesome,” Chianne said.<\/p>\n

“This was a special little treat for us,” Sev said.<\/p>\n

Sev said the visit meant a lot to the kids in the crowd.<\/p>\n

“So grateful that hockey players are still coming back to their home communities and doing this.”<\/p>\n
