If you thought the Tampa Bay Lightning and their fans were jumping for joy after winning the Stanley Cup, you should get a look at the residents of Clearwater Aquarium.

The marine animal hospital shared some video of Winter the Dolphin, star of the movie "Dolphin Tale" and some pals visiting with the Greatest Trophy in All of Sports on Friday.
Winter's friends, Nicholas, Rex and Rudy and the animal care staff all got to hang out with the Cup.

Winter, an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin whose story of losing her tail after becoming entangled in a crab trap inspiring "Dolphin Tale," was certainly ready for her close-up with the Cup.

Clearwater Aquarium is just 25 miles across Old Tampa Bay from Amalie Arena, home of the Lightning.
