“It’s been amazing. It’s life-changing for myself and my family,” Greer told NHL.com about the experience of winning the Stanley Cup, the pinnacle of a journey that has been played with five different teams across eight NHL seasons. “To share this moment with everyone is special.”<\/p>\n
The day started with a special photo shared<\/a> by Greer’s wife, Taylore, on social media. She posted a special shot of A.J. and the couple’s son, Jack, with the greatest trophy in all of sports.<\/p>\n Greer also planned three days of hockey clinics for youth players from his hometown at the low cost of $25, with all proceeds benefitting Maison Oxygene de Quebec<\/a>, an organization that helps fathers and children in need with accommodation, accompaniment and community support.<\/p>\n The camp, Greer said, sold out in 15 minutes.<\/p>\n Although the day with the Cup might be an old hat for some members of the Panthers, who have won back-to-back Stanley Cup championships, for Greer, the excitement of the day won’t wear off for some time.<\/p>\n “It’s going to be surreal, seeing the people come out and enjoy the day,” Greer told NHL.com ahead of the event. “I’m the only guy on the (Panthers) from Quebec, so I had to bring it home.”<\/p>\n
