This is the summer of Brad. Watch what he was up to on Friday morning below:
Is there anything this guy can’t do? After partying all night long with his Florida Panthers teammates to celebrate their second consecutive Stanley Cup win, Brad Marchand was at Dairy Queen, showing up in Sunrise to present his new Brad Blizzard.
The ice cream’s flavour is ‘Chocolate Chirp Cookie Dough’ and come on, I mean this is just perfect for the now two-time Stanley Cup champion.
Marchand has previously expressed his love for Dairy Queen and it became a known fact during the postseason. The veteran forward and many of his Panthers teammates were seen in a Dairy Queen in Carolina ahead of games against the Hurricanes in the third round, and the pre-game snack quickly became tradition.
On Friday, Marchand spent time with fans and DQ employees and also went on to answer many questions about his trade from the Boston Bruins to Florida, which gave him the opportunity to play in the postseason and go all the way.
When asked about his pending free agency and what comes next for him in the NHL, Marchand couldn’t help but send a message to Panthers general manager Bill Zito, telling him to sign him to a new contract. Marchand is at the end of the eight-year deal he signed with the Bruins in 2016, which carried an AAV of $6.125 million.
When asked whether the Panthers will re-sign Marchand after the Stanley Cup win on Tuesday, Zito jokingly answered that he purchased a Dairy Queen.
But we all know it’s going to be a busy hot summer for Zito and the Panthers. Can’t blame the team is they head out to DQ more than once to try Marchand’s ‘Chocolate Chirp Cookie Dough’ DQ Blizzard.
