Jack Johnson celebrates Stanley Cup victory
Mr. Stanley Cup surely felt a chill down its spine on Saturday afternoon as Colorado Avalanche defenceman Jack Johnson and his kids had an ice cream party from the Cup. On the outskirts of Columbus in a little ice cream shop with 16 parking spaces and a drive-thru, Johnson turned the Cup for his three children and their friends to enjoy a dig-in ice cream party they’ll never forget.
Johnson became an unrestricted free agent on July 13th, and it was his first Stanley Cup victory that he drowned in the joy of celebration. He commented, “It was cool”. “I promised my kids, gosh, I don’t know long ago, that if I ever won, we’d eat ice cream out of the Stanley Cup.” “I made sure with the keepers here [of the Cup] if it was OK to eat ice cream out of it and they said, ‘Yeah, have at it,’ so I was able to keep my promise to the kids.”

As described on nhl.com, the ice cream was covered in chocolate topping and whipped cream, as the kids gobbled up the dessert in a flash. The party was held at Dell’s Ice Cream and Coffee shop where onlookers took videos and photos of the event. Johnson carried the Cup from one destination to another, celebrating the victory with the local people and his family.
Johnson said, “We frequent Hellas quite a lot and always drive the kids up to Dell’s to get some ice cream, usually on the weekends”. “So it just made sense to bring it to the places that we come to a lot and share with as many people as we can.” During his house party, his wife Kelly, and her older brother a former quarterback and now an analyst at FOX Sports Bardy Quinn joined the occasion.

But it wasn’t just them, his brother-in-law and former linebacker A. J. Hawk who married Kelly’s sister were also present. Hawk noted, “It’s awesome to see”. “No one deserves it more than Jack.” “We didn’t want to jinx it, but we all started daydreaming and fantasizing what he would do with the Stanley Cup when it was his turn with the Cup”. “He talked about having the kids eat ice cream out of it. I think the fact that it’s here, I know Jack said a million times, ‘I’m just pumped, everybody gets to be a part of this.’ “It’s truly unique.”
