We've seen tons of great and fun things done during a player's day with the Stanley Cup over the years. From different foods and drinks, to perfect poses, it would be fairly hard to try something that hasn't been done before. Jack Johnson just may have done it.

According to The Athletic's Peter Baugh, Johnson's day with the Cup as a member of this year's champions the Colorado Avalanche included a religious ceremony. Specifically, having all three of his children baptized in hockey's greatest prize. The event was planned before the playoffs started and just happened to coincide with Johnson's day with Lord Stanley's Cup, so he went for it.

Baugh also noted that Johnson's children come from an athletic background on both sides of the family. Their father is an NHLer whose brother plays hockey at Penn State. Their mother's side includes NFLers A.J. Hawk and Brady Quinn, and Olympic medalist Alicia Quinn.
