An athlete with Eastern Iowa ties has won his third Stanley Cup.
Defenseman Alec Martinez scored a goal and blocked five shots in the Vegas Golden Knights’ 9-3 Stanley Cup-clinching performance Tuesday night against Florida in Las Vegas.
Martinez won the Clark Cup…the championship trophy of the United States Hockey League…in his only season as a member of the Cedar Rapids Roughriders in 2005.
Tuesday night’s Stanley Cup victory is the third for Martinez. He previously won two other Stanley Cup championships as a member of the Los Angeles Kings in 2012 and 2014.
