Jon Cooper knew how to giddy up the crowd in Calgary this weekend.

The Canada head coach brought out the 4 Nations Face-Off trophy at the Calgary Stampede festival on Saturday.

In a video posted to social media, Cooper walked out on stage lifting the trophy over his head as the crowd went wild.

A cowboy hat was placed on the Tampa Bay Lightning head coach’s head as he continued to show off the trophy to his fellow Canadiens at the annual festival.

In February, Cooper coached Canada to 3-2 overtime win over the United States to win the first 4 Nations Face-Off tournament.

Clearly, it wasn’t Cooper’s first rodeo.
