Barry Trotz is a Stanley Cup Champion, and yesterday evening, the City of Dauphin honoured him by unveiling Barry Trotz Way.
The 200 block of 5th Avenue S.E. is now called "Barry Trotz Way".
"I really think this is a long overdue recognition for a man that's so accomplished," said Melisa Stefaniw with Tourism Dauphin. "He's really strived to be a great example and he's great at what he does. We wanted to honour him, and we made a big step in doing that by unveiling "Barry Trotz Way."
"I would go to the outdoor rink, to the DMCC, to the fairgrounds and this way basically my route all the time," said Barry Trotz. "This really was my highway, and it's a legacy for mom and dad. This unveiling is really at the perfect location."
"I really appreciate this and everything that went into it," he added. "It really does mean a lot."
And with today being the "Parade Day", Melisa wants the whole community to rally around and support Barry and come out for a great day.
"The parade is really going to be something else," said Stefaniw. "We really want to show Barry the spirit of the community. So bring all your hockey equipment out and come to congratulate Barry."
It starts up at 12:30 at Henderson School.
