- Frederik Andersen spent his Stanley Cup Day at Legoland Billund in his native Denmark
- The Hurricanes goalie kissed the Cup and hoisted it in front of a giant Lego man
- Read below for the full day, from Legoland to a hero’s welcome in his hometown
Frederik Andersen picked the perfect spot for a guy who loves Lego.
The former Carolina Hurricanes goalie brought the Stanley Cup to Legoland Billund on Wednesday to celebrate his day with the trophy in his home country of Denmark. He posed with Lord Stanley in front of a pile of Lego builds, including a group shot with his family.
Legoland Billund posted the full carousel from the day, and it is worth a scroll. It runs through the whole visit and ends with Andersen kissing the Cup, then lifting it over his head in front of a giant Lego man:
The NHL passed along a couple of the best frames too:
The Lego thing is nothing new for him. Andersen has put drawings of Lego characters on his goalie masks for years, so ending up at Legoland with the Cup was about as on-brand as it gets.
The day didn’t stop there. Andersen and the Cup headed to his hometown of Herning, where hundreds of fans turned out to greet him. He posed for pictures and signed autographs deep into the afternoon.
It has been quite a week for the Andersens. Over the weekend, the veteran goalie married his wife, Annalise, in a Copenhagen ceremony that drew Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner.
Andersen won it all with Carolina this spring, then signed a one-year deal with the Edmonton Oilers on July 1 after five seasons with the Hurricanes. His day with the Cup is one last piece of the Carolina run before he turns the page in Edmonton.
