Michael Amadio lived the Canadian dream last month, hoisting the Stanley Cup for the first time after his Las Vegas Golden Knights clinched the NHL championship.
A proud resident of Sault Ste. Marie who went on to star with the OHL's North Bay Battalion, the 27-year-old forward was a recent guest on Village Media's Inside the Village podcast.
Amadio was asked about the moment a teammate handed him the Cup near centre ice during the post-game celebration. Did you have your victory skate all planned out in your mind?
“I don’t think I knew what I was going to do with it," Amadio joked. "I think I just wanted not to fall on the ice with it. I think that was the only thing I was thinking of. I don’t even remember the moment, it goes by so fast. I just tried to enjoy it.”
