WINNIPEG — Hundreds of enthusiastic fans gathered outside city hall late this morning to celebrate Jonathan Toews bringing home the Stanley Cup.

After enduring an almost half hour wait, the crowd cheered as Toews and Mayor Sam Katz came out displaying Toews’ hard won trophies.

Toews’ family stood by as the mayor presented him with a gold medallion and the key to the city.

"He truly is the ultimate role model," said Katz of the young Winnipeg athlete.

Toews is overwhelmed by the support he’s received.

"To realize how much support, how many fans I have in Winnipeg and bringing the Stanley Cup to you, there’s nothing like it," he said.
