Tom Brady won his fair share of trophies during his NFL career but the legendary quarterback got his hands on a new piece of silverware Friday night.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion was pictured holding the Stanley Cup during a visit to watch the NHL’s 2026 Winter Classic.
Brady could be seen holding the famously giant trophy in both hands as he studied the winners engraved on it.
He was also presented with a customized ‘Brady 12’ Florida Panthers jersey ahead of their game against the New York Rangers.
Each year the NHL stages a regular season game in a stadium and this time around the Panthers and Rangers will meet inside the Miami Marlins’ LoanDepot Park in front of around 36,000 fans.
Brady was also seen standing with and talking to former NHL player Paul Bissonnette after the Fox commentator recorded an episode of Bissonnette’s ‘Spittin’ Chiclets’ podcast earlier in the day.

It comes just a day after footage emerged of Brady and model Alix Earle enjoying a flirty New Year’s Eve together in St. Barths.
Brady, 48, and the newly-single Earle, 25, were filmed getting handsy throughout the night at a yacht party in the Caribbean as they welcomed in 2026 together.
Neither has commented directly on the viral videos but they also aren’t doing much to play them down.
Brady shared a quote to his Instagram story as the footage surfaced, which said: ‘People are not beautiful for how they look or speak. They’re beautiful for how they love, care and treat others.’
He also posted a picture of his pool, back at his Florida mansion, with the caption: ‘Home Sweet Home’.
One clip from the night out showed Earle glancing over her shoulder and looking Brady up and down as they got their groove on, while another captures Brady appearing to place his hand around her lower waist.
Earle later shared pictures of her outfit on Instagram and was swarmed with comments about the Brady video.
According to Page Six, an insider claimed that Earle and Brady also broke off together and headed to a private cabin to talk at one stage of the evening.

‘They were at a yacht party and met, and broke off from the larger group, talking for a lot of the night,’ the source is quoted as saying.
Dancing With The Stars runner-up Earle recently announced her split from Houston Texans wide receiver Berrios, not long after celebrating their two-year anniversary together.
Berrios, 30, was drafted by the New England Patriots in 2018, when none other than Brady was the team’s starting quarterback.
Brady has been single since his divorce from supermodel ex-wife Gisele Bunchen, the mother of two of his three children, was confirmed in October 2022. They had been married for 13 years.
Since that split, he has been linked with many famous women, ranging from Sofia Vergara to Sydney Sweeney.
This Sunday, Brady is expected to be in Chicago to call the Bears vs Detroit Lions for Fox in the final weekend of the NFL regular season. Brady is two years into a 10-year, $375million deal to call games with the broadcaster.
There is potential for Brady’s path to cross with Berrios during the NFL playoffs. The Texans have already qualified for the postseason and will be crowned AFC South winners if they beat the injury-hit Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
