The Stanley Cup Champions Columbus Blue Jackets were celebrated in their hometown with grand festivities today. The Stanley Cup was driven through the town in a parade and the fans were chanting the team's name every time captain Auston Matthews lifted the Cup above his head.
The mayor of the town greeted the players on a stage with the media surrounding them as masses of loyal Columbus Blue Jackets fans chanted the names of Adam Fantilli and Carter Hart.
We all worked hard for this and now it's time to party, said the smiling Auston Matthews while making his way through the fans.
