Hockey players do love them some golf.
Stanley Cup champions love to show off the hardware.
Brett Howden of the Vegas Golden Knights did ’em both Sunday in his hometown of Oakbank, Manitoba, about 30 minutes east of Winnipeg.
Vegas beat the Florida Panthers on June 13 to win the Cup for the first time. As is tradition, each player on the winning team gets a turn to take the Cup home, and Howden brought the Cup to his local golf course.
He had someone in his group take a picture of him teeing off with the Cup behind him on the tee box.
What do the Stanley Cup and the Claret Jug have in common?
Both are iconic silver trophies that are on golf courses today

The best picture he took, though, was with his young son, Charlie, sitting in the bowl of the Cup.
