After winning the Stanley Cup with the St. Louis Blues last season, Joel Edmundson was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes in the offseason, and he’s back where he won it all in St. Louis for the first time this season to finally receive his championship ring.

For the occasion, the Blues also decided to do right by their former player and flew Edmundson’s parents in from Manitoba to watch their son receive his ring.

Bob and Lois, @JEdmundson3's parents, were at almost every playoff game last season, so it's only right that they were here at Enterprise Center to see him receive his ring tonight. pic.twitter.com/71zjCXqdBS

Nice gesture by Blues GM Doug Armstrong offering to fly Joel Edmundson’s parents, Bob and Lois, to St. Louis from Manitoba for tomorrow night’s game. They’ll get to see their son receive his Stanley Cup ring on the Blues’ dime. Very respectful of a mom/dad who supported the club.

You love to see it. The crowd at Enterprise Center showed Edmundson a ton of love upon his return, with a video tribute before the game, and Blues legend Al MacInnis joined the team captains to present Edmundson with his ring.
