LAS VEGAS - For the second time, Carlyle's Jim McKenzie is a Stanley Cup champion.

McKenzie is part of the scouting staff for the Vegas Golden Knights, who won the Stanley Cup Tuesday night with a 9-3 victory over the Florida Panthers in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup final. McKenzie was on the ice for the post-game celebration. 

McKenzie has been part of the Knights' scouting staff since the 2016-17 season, the year before the Knights entered the NHL. Ironically, prior to joining the Golden Knights, McKenzie was a scout for the Panthers.

He also won the Stanley Cup as a player in 2003 with the New Jersey Devils. That summer, he brought the Stanley Cup home to Carlyle as part of a big community celebration. 

McKenzie was born in Gull Lake but his family moved to Carlyle when he was young. He now has family in Estevan. 

Estevan's Brayden Pachal was a defenceman on the Golden Knights roster, too.
