Stanley Cup & Key to City

Last week I was honored to welcome Trevor Lewis of the Stanley Cup Champion Los Angeles Kings to West Valley City and the Maverik Center.  Thousands of people were on hand to help celebrate the Utah native's victory. Trevor and his family were great to talk to and it is great that he decided to spend his one day with the Stanley Cup sharing it with as many people as possible.

I told Trevor and those gathered that his victory is a victory for Utah and for Utah Hockey; as the Utah Grizzlies’ home, we were extremely proud to welcome him home to West Valley City and to the Maverik center to celebrate. Thirteen years ago, many people, including Trevor, came to West Valley to view the Stanley Cup on display.  It is neat that the Cup has returned to our city, this time being carried by a winner and champion. This key to West Valley City is a token to the Trevor’s connection to West Valley City – through his dedication to the game of hockey, which is proudly showcased and hosted at the Maverik Center and where Trevor is always welcome to visit.
