Kyle Okposo's day with the Stanley Cup was tragically cancelled due to a global IT outage affecting airlines, causing the Cup to be stuck in St. Louis.

Okposo, who played for the New York Islanders and Buffalo Sabres before being traded to the Florida Panthers, played a significant role in helping the Panthers win their first Stanley Cup in the 2023/24 season.
The planned public appearance at Pagel Arena had to be cancelled, leaving Okposo, who was eagerly looking forward to celebrating this milestone, deeply disappointed. Despite the setback, Okposo's name is forever engraved on the Stanley Cup, solidifying his place in NHL history.
The hope remains that the Panthers can arrange another day for Okposo to celebrate with the Cup, although the tight off-season schedule makes it uncertain.
