Following dinner, the festivities continued at E11EVEN Miami with an over-the-top celebration, and the team brought the glorified Stanley Cup with them. Team captain Aleksander Barkov graced the red carpet with the trophy in hand before being greeted by hundreds of cheering fans. Celebrating in true E11EVEN fashion, the team took over several tables near the DJ booth before “We Are the Champions” burst through the speakers, and confetti fell from the sky, accompanied by smoke machines and dazzling lights.
Of course, no celebration is complete without Champagne, and the team took full advantage, spraying over 10 bottles while Carter Verhaeghe, Kyle Okposo, and Sam Bennett passed the Stanley Cup down the line of tables. As teammates cheered on one another, the crowd went wild. Aleksander Barkov and Matthew Tkachuk continued the party, sharing a bottle of E11EVEN Vodka and taking celebratory shots while Ryan Lomberg crowd-surfed among the thrilled fans.
