* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: When your favourite team/player wins it, and skates across the ice carrying it aloft.
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: Countless examples, frequently accompanied by a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSd8CqBEbcY sudden inability to articulate feelings]
** Ray Bourque's final game of his 21-year NHL career was the game he won the Stanley Cup in 2001 for the first time might be one of the best.
** Made all the more heartwarming via Joe Sakic's [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]; the Captain of the winning team is the first player to receive the Cup and does a celebratory lap of the rink with the Cup. Sakic was the Avalanche captain at the time (and had been since 1992, when they were still the Quebec Nordiques), but immediately passed it to Bourque.
** Similarly, Wayne Gretzky passed it on to Steve Smith after winning the cup in 1987. The year before, Smith was responsible for probably the biggest blunder in hockey history when he accidentally banked a pass from behind the teams net off the goalie into the net which would ultimately lead to the Edmonton Oilers being eliminated by the Calgary Flames.
