The smiles and grins plastered on the faces of the hundreds of hockey fans who gathered in Penticton's Gyro Park Saturday to catch a glimpse on hometown NHLer Duncan Keith and the Stanley Cup.

Keith and the Chicago Blackhawks were the NHL champions this past season. Each member of the winning team gets to bring Lord Stanley's mug home for a visit.

Twitter was abuzz with excitement.
