Hockey fans aren’t just popping champagne in Vegas today.

The Stanley Cup championship claimed by the Golden Knights Tuesday night is being celebrated in communities from Vancouver Island to the Kootenays thanks to a number of strong B.C. connections.

Star defenceman Shea Theodore (Aldergrove) and goalie Laurent Brossoit (Port Alberni) are among the players who learned their craft on West Coast rinks, while goalie Adin Hill learned his hockey in Calgary, but lists Comox as his birthplace.

Meanwhile, off the ice, assistant coach Ryan Craig is from Abbotsford and scout Bruno Campese is from Nelson.
