Mayor Quirk proclaims Aug. 5 as Sean Walker Day
Sean Walker is bringing the Stanley Cup to Georgina. The Keswick native and defenceman for the Carolina Hurricanes celebrated the Stanley Cup championship on June 14, 2026. He will bring the Stanley Cup to the Georgina Ice Palace on Wednesday, Aug. 5 from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
“We are thrilled Sean Walker is bringing the Stanley Cup to Georgina and I am proud to declare Wednesday, Aug. 5 as Sean Walker Day!” said Mayor Margaret Quirk. “On behalf of our entire community, I want to congratulate Sean on this tremendous achievement. As a proud Keswick native, Sean has shown that hard work, determination and passion can take you to the highest level of the game. It's especially inspiring to know his hockey journey began right here with the Georgina Blaze AA hockey program. We are incredibly proud of everything Sean has accomplished and know his success will inspire the next generation of young athletes in Georgina. Congratulations Sean, on this incredible achievement and bringing such pride to your hometown."
The two-hour event, which will take place on the blue ice pad, will include opening remarks from the Mayor and Sean, followed by photos with Sean and the Stanley Cup. This is a first-come first-served event and a photo opportunity only. Due to the large number of people expected for this event and with the limited time Sean and the Stanley Cup will be in Georgina, Sean will not be signing anything in an effort to see as many people as possible.
Sean began his NHL career with the Los Angeles Kings and also played for the Philadelphia Flyers before being traded to the Colorado Avalanche. He signed a five-year contract with the Carolina Hurricanes in July 2024.
