Scott Murray's summer cookout on Saturday started with a surprise visit to his local butcher, with a little extra hardware in tow.

He then stopped at the St. Clements and District Community Center where people from the small village near Waterloo, Ontario, could take their picture with the Cup. Murray also lent the Cup to a mini parade, and it traveled with children on a riding mower-led wagon. "I'm extremely excited to go back there to enjoy the day with people that I've been around for such a long time," Murray told The Observer of Woolwich and Wellesley Townships .
This was Murray's first season as goaltending coach. He joined the Capitals in 2013 after spending four seasons as the goaltending coach for Sudbury of the Ontario Hockey League.
