Bowen Byram expresses his feeling on winning the Champion Cup
Byram stated how happy he was to be in his hometown with the Stanley Cup, “It’s a lot of fun [to be home],”. “Growing up and playing minor hockey here — it’s special to have it here and that people in the community get to see it and [I can] chat with some people. It’s been a fun day so far.
As per saanichnews.com, he continued, “In small towns, there are a lot of people who help out with minor hockey. I had a lot of good coaches growing up — just very fortunate to grow up in Cranbrook in such a rich hockey environment.” He further mentioned how he is fortunate to be part of this amazing team.

He stated, “I definitely knew I was fortunate to get drafted by the Avs — they already had a really solid team”. “They got the pick for me from Ottawa. They made the playoffs that year and made it to the second round, so I knew I was going to have a chance. Obviously, you never really know — a lot of good teams don’t ever win the Stanley Cup. Growing up you always want to be a Stanley Cup Champion and now that I am, it’s kind of hard to describe.”
