Eric Robinson’s day with the Stanley Cup had a little extra meaning.

The Carolina Hurricanes forward brought the trophy to The Gaudreau Rink at Hollydell Ice Arena in Sewell, New Jersey on Thursday.

Robinson grew up playing at the New Jersey ice rink alongside Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau and was coached by the late brothers’ dad, Guy.

Guy, his daughter, Katie, son-in-law Devin, and grandson, Matthew, came out to the event to celebrate with Robinson. Gaudreau’s dad hoisted the Cup over his head with Robinson.

Robinson’s parents, Bud and Maureen, wore custom red T-shirts to the event that featured a picture of the veteran forward wearing a Canes jersey as a kid and another picture of him lifting the Stanley Cup over his head.

“From Hollydell to Carolina, Go Canes!” was written on the shirts.

Fans and young hockey players also got to take pictures with Robinson and the Stanley Cup.

Robinson has spent two of his nine NHL seasons with the Hurricanes. He played seven seasons with the Columbus Blue Jackets, where he was teammates with Gaudreau from 2022-24.
