The Anaheim Ducks have won their first ever Stanley Cup with a 6-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators.
The Mighty Ducks ended the series in five games last night in front a home crowd.
The win marks the fist time the Stanley Cup has been captured by an NHL western team, and is also the first time the cup, which was born in Ottawa, has left Canada since Montreal in 1993.
"Canada loves their hockey, and from what I heard out there, we have quite a few fans who love their hockey out here, too," captain Scott Niedermayer, a four-time champion from British Columbia, told nwi.com.
The winning side also included Niedermayer’s brother Rob who is one of three Ducks left from the losing side in 2003 – this year is his first Stanley Cup.
"I don't think I'll ever have a better feeling than that in my career," Rob said.
Talking about his brother Scott and his four wins, he said "I never touched it when he won. He's won so much, but he's never been a guy whose ever rubbed it in a guy's face. He's been rooting for me my whole career, and I'm just lucky to have him as a brother."
Anaheim is the first West Coast city to lay claim to the ultimate prize since Victoria of the Western Canada Hockey League defeated Montreal in 1925, two years before NHL clubs began exclusively playing for the Cup.
