Grounded airlines forced Florida Panthers winger Kyle Okposo to cancel a public Stanley Cup appearance scheduled for Friday at Pagel Arena in Minnetonka, Minnesota.

The trophy was stuck in St. Louis, Missouri as airlines were impacted by Friday's global IT outage, The Athletic's Michael Russo reported.

Okposo told Russo he was "crushed" to cancel the appearance, where fans were invited to see and take photos with the Stanley Cup.

The NHL is "currently trying to figure out" how to get the trophy to Minnesota despite the outages, Russo reported.
