WITH the Florida Panthers winning their first Stanley Cup title in franchise, the outcome of their triumph over the Edmonton Oilers resulted in local product Jamie Kompon making NHL history.
The win sees Kompon capture a record third Stanley Cup as an assistant coach with a third different club.
His initial titles behind the bench came with the Los Angeles Kings and Chicago Blackhawks in 2012 and 2013 respectively.
This breaks a tie Kompon was in with two others who had also won two titles as assistants in the NHL.
That duo was Doug Jarvis and Barry Smith.
Jarvis accomplished his feat as an assistant with the Dallas Stars in 1999 and the Boston Bruins in 2011.
Smith meanwhile won multiple Cups with both the Detroit Red Wings and Pittsburgh Penguins over a decade-long span starting in 1991.
As a head coach, Scotty Bowman is the only bench boss with win a trio of Stanley Cups with three different teams.
Involved in the game for over four decades, Kompon played his minor hockey in Thunder Bay, highlighted with helping the Andrews become the first Lakehead side to win a medal at the then Air Canada Cup national midget championship, with them capturing a bronze in 1983.
