Matthew Tkachuk reunited with his buddy Lord Stanley in St. Louis on Wednesday.

To start his day in Missouri, the forward from the Florida Panthers decided to take the Stanley Cup out for lunch at a nearby Italian restaurant called Grassi’s Ristorante.

Tkachuk was seen enjoying a sub and a salad in a video shared on Grassi’s Ristorante’s Instagram page. Stanley joined him at the table, and the Panthers forward graciously posed for photos with both the Cup and the restaurant staff standing behind the counter.

After lunch, Tkachuk took the trophy to go hang in his family’s backyard. The veteran forward and his father, former St. Louis Blues great Keith Tkachuk, helped his sister, Taryn, to a drink out of the Cup. She posted a video of the refreshment on her Instagram story.

Afterwards, Tkachuk made a visit to his former elementary school, Villa Duchesne, accompanied by his family. They all gathered in front of the “Tkachuk Terrace” to take pictures with Stanley. Additionally, he took the opportunity to introduce the prestigious trophy to a group of students at the school.

After spending time with a fellow champion in Lake Tahoe last weekend, Tkachuk receives a visit from Lord Stanley. The Panthers’ talented player shares a photo on his Instagram story, featuring himself alongside Travis Kelce, a three-time Super Bowl champion. Tkachuk captions the picture as “Champs.”

Both members of the duo took part in the American Century Championship golf tournament.
