Sean Walker spent his day with the Stanley Cup bringing smiles to young patients' faces on Wednesday.

The Carolina Hurricanes defenseman and the trophy stopped by Southlake Health in Newmarket, Ontario to visit with pediatric patients.

Walker signed autographs and posed for pictures with the hospital patients and staff.

In one photo two young kids held up a homemade sign that said, “Congrats Sean. Thank you for visiting the POGO Pediatric Oncology Clinic at Southlake.”

Hometown NHL star and @Canes defenceman Sean Walker brought the Stanley Cup to Southlake, creating an unforgettable day for children and families. For one afternoon, treatments and appointments took a back seat to smiles, laughter, and memories with hockey's greatest trophy.

Earlier in the day, Walker brought the Cup to a community event at the Georgina Ice Palace in Keswick, where he played youth hockey.

On Instagram, the Town of Georgina shared a video of fans lined up outside the rink waiting to see the Hurricanes defenseman and the trophy.

Walker ended his day at Kawartha Dairy where he ate ice cream out of the Cup with his family. The ice cream shop posted a reel of the visit on their Instagram.

Talk about a cherry on top.
