Newfoundland and Labrador’s Alex Newhook is a Stanley Cup Champion.
The Colorado Avalanche finally dethroned the two-time defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning Sunday night, holding on for a 2 -1 victory and taking the series 4-2.
Newhook becomes the third Newfoundland player to win the Cup, following Daniel Cleary of Harbour Grace and Bonavista’s Michael Ryder.
Newhook had four points in 12 games this post-season and, at the age of 21, becomes the youngest player from this province to ever win the Cup.
Anticipation now builds toward this summer when it’s expected Newhook and the Cup will make the trip home.
