Bill Zito is having a fin-tastic day with the Stanley Cup in Florida on Saturday.

For his Cup celebration, the Florida Panthers general manager took the trophy to the Theater of the Sea, a marine mammal park in the Florida Keys, and showed it to some new aquatic friends.

It sure looked like the seals and dolphins were having a flipping good time with the shiny new toy.

Zito also had an adventure with one of the dolphins at the park, capturing a sweet action shot of the dolphin jumping into the air from the water with the Cup and a Panthers championship flag as the backdrop.

For all intents and porpoises, Zito’s day with the Cup is one for the scrapbook.
