The Florida Panthers' Stanley Cup celebration has produced some iconic moments. From Matthew Tkachuk's dive into the Atlantic Ocean with the trophy to the team's second-story beer fountain at Elbo Room, the Panthers have gone all-out on the celebrations. Keeping in line with tradition, several players also celebrated by putting their babies in the cup.

The NHL Players Association compiled an Instagram carousel of photos showing players with their babies in the Stanley Cup. Check out some of the pictures below, starting with Jonah Gadjovich, who just welcomed twins with his wife Allison in May.

The couple can be seen in one photo with the twins inside the Stanley Cup, napping comfortably after their dad's historic championship win.

The NHL Players Association account also shared an image of Evan Rodrigues celebrating with his family after the team's win. While his youngest daughter appears just a bit too old to fit in the Cup, one of his sons can be seen with his hand on the Cup.
