Bobo Carpenter has select memories from 2003 when his father, Bobby Carpenter, won the Stanley Cup as the assistant coach for the Devils.

The now 21-year-old was 7 at the time and remembers being on the ice with his family, seeing the Cup up close. But in every photo Carpenter has from that night which includes himself and the Cup, he’s not smiling. That’s something he said he hopes to change someday.
