The City of Winkler took the time to honour and recognize one of its Stanley Cup champions Tuesday night prior to the Winkler Flyers home game. The City unveiled an Eric Fehr, Stanley Cup champion banner on the west wall of the arena.

"Its definitely a huge honour to be recognized by your City,'' said Fehr. "I love coming back to Winkler, and spend a lot of time there in the summer. I have always enjoyed playing in the Winkler arena and to be able to come back and see the banner in the arena when I come home is going to be a pretty cool feeling for sure."

Fehr and the Penguins won the cup back in June, and about a month later Fehr and the Cup came home to the City to celebrate, and now there's a banner to remember and recognize what many young kids dream of.

"We want to honour him because he's a hero for Winkler. He's a tremendous ambassador and he truly represents the grit that we have in Winkler," shared Winkler Mayor Martin Harder. "People don't give up very easily, and neither does he. He worked through his difficulties until he became successful and winning the Stanley Cup. I certainly admire him and for the City of Winkler we are very much appreciative of his ambassador role that he plays for the City of Winkler."

"It's just an honour to be able to unfurl a banner in his honour. I think it's just a great thing we can do for a Winkler player," added Harder.

Imagine a kid just learning to skate or any other kid playing the game of hockey in the Winkler Arena and looking at that west wall and seeing the Stanley Cup in the hands of someone who played hockey in the same rink and in the same jersey's as they are right now. It shows that those minor hockey players dreams of not only playing in the NHL, but winning the Stanley Cup, can come true.

Meanwhile, his older brother Matt Fehr thought it was a surreal feeling to see his brother's banner being unveiled at the arena they grew up playing in. He also mentioned he may have taught his little brother a thing or two.

"There's definitely a few things that I taught him. I don't know if he would have admit to any of them, but I feel that I probably toughened him up a little bit," said Matt.
