Two Indigenous Players To Be A part of NHL History

The Stanley Cup Finals have finally come to a close, and it's now time for the Vegas Golden Knights and the Florida Panthers to battle it out for the championship.

What's unique about this season is that both teams have players from indigenous backgrounds, including Zach Whitecloud from the Sioux Valley Dakota Nation in Manitoba and Brandon Montour from the Six Nations of the Grand River in Ontario.

This season is especially significant for these players, as one of them will be lifting the cup at the end of it all.

Both have been integral to their team's success, with Montour filling in a spot left by Aaron Ekblad with an impressive regular season performance.

The journey to the finals has been remarkable for both teams, with the Panthers sweeping the Carolina Hurricanes and the Golden Knights securing a memorable win against the Dallas Stars. It's sure to be an exciting series, and the inclusion of these talented indigenous players only adds to the excitement.
