Capitals Forward Chandler Stephenson Brings Stanley Cup to Humboldt

Washington Capitals forward Chandler Stephenson brought the Stanley Cup to Humboldt, Saskatchewan, Canada, on Friday.

According to the Associated Press (h/t ESPN.com), Stephenson honored the 16 people who died in a bus crash in April.

The bus was transporting the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team to a playoff game in Nipawin, Saskatchewan, Canada. Ten of those who died were players.

Official Stanley Cup keeper Philip Pritchard tweeted a photo of the Cup at a memorial where the bus crash occurred:

Stephenson is a Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, native who met privately with survivors of the crash before bringing the Stanley Cup inside Elgar Petersen Arena.

Per the Associated Press, the 24-year-old Stephenson is friends with crash survivors Kaleb Dahlgren and Brayden Camrud.

The visit was dubbed "Humboldt Hockey Day," and it was organized by the NHL and NHL players' union.

Last season was Stephenson's third with the Capitals but the first in which he appeared in more than nine games.

In 67 regular-season games, he registered six goals and 12 assists for 18 points. Stephenson also contributed two goals and five assists for seven points in 24 playoff games.
