    Florida Panthers General Manager Bill Zito took his turn with the Stanley Cup on Saturday.

    To the surprise of nobody who knows him, Zito brought the historic trophy to one of his new favorite places in the world: the Florida Keys.

    Zito and members of his family visited the Theater of the Sea on Saturday morning, as was first reported by WPLG Local 10.

    Theatre of the Sea is a popular, family-owned business located in Islamorada that offers special adventures like swimming with dolphins and visiting with seals.

    At one point, Zito was seen holding a large Stanley Cup Champions flag while standing on a platform over the water with the Cup itself, directing the dolphins to do jumps and flips below them.

    Zito even had the opportunity to feed some of the seals directly from the Stanley Cup.

    Meanwhile, some of the facility’s dolphins were seen swimming around while waiving Panthers Stanley Cup Championship flags.

    The Stanley Cup has been zig-zagging up and down the U.S. over the past week, with stops in Missouri Wisconsin and Texas.

    Next week it will be back in Canada, where Panthers forward Jonah Gadjovich is expected to have his day with the Cup.

    Florida center Anton Lundell posted on social media that he will host his day with Lord Stanley’s Cup next month in his native Finland.
