Panthers' Brad Marchand gets a Dairy Queen Blizzard named for him after Stanley Cup heroics image

It's a great time to be Brad Marchand.

Recent social media video showed the Florida Panthers' heroic Stanley Cup champion crowd-surfing at a club. And now, he's got a Blizzard named after him.

That's right, the Dairy Queen in Sunrise, Florida, is honoring Florida's transplanted hockey hero.

On Friday, for one day only, you could order a "Brad Blizzard" at the Sunrise DQ.

It featured specially flavored "Chocolate Chirp Cookie Dough," no typo. Marchand is a known trash talker, thus the name.

Marchand pulled up to the Dairy Queen for the occasion.

Marchand is a known fan of Dairy Queen.

And he's now a Panthers fan favorite.

The Bruins traded their legend Marchand to Florida at the trade deadline to give him a chance to chase the Cup.

And with multiple huge goals in the Stanley Cup Finals, Marchand ensured the Panthers would go back-to-back.

Now, he's got a fun dessert named in his honor, too.
