Florida Panthers Forward Evan Rodrigues Brings The Stanley Cup to EPCOT
Talk about a magical crossover moment! Guests at EPCOT today were treated to a rare sight that had nothing to do with Mickey ears or Spaceship Earth. Florida Panthers forward Evan Rodrigues brought hockey’s most iconic prize, the Stanley Cup, right into the heart of World Showcase.

Fresh off the Panthers’ second straight championship win, Rodrigues carried on the long-standing NHL tradition of players spending a day celebrating with the Cup. And where better to celebrate than EPCOT, a place where world travel and unforgettable memories come together every single day?
The trophy was displayed on the bridge between the United Kingdom and France Pavilions, and in true Disney fashion, it got a little whimsical makeover. Sitting inside the gleaming silver Cup were several oversized Big Feet Remy plush toys from Ratatouille. You don’t see that at center ice! Families lined up for photos with the player, the Cup, and of course, Remy—making for a one-of-a-kind EPCOT photo op.
This summer, the Stanley Cup has been on quite the global adventure, stopping everywhere from Alpharetta, Georgia, to a children’s hospital in St. Louis, and even all the way to Helsinki, Finland, for a visit to Olympic Stadium. But today’s stop at EPCOT may have been the most “delicious” of all, with Remy adding a touch of Disney magic to the mix.
