Antoine Vermette and his wife Karen celebrated Father’s Day this weekend by welcoming newborn Emilia Vermette into the world.

Hockey Hall of Fame Keeper of the Cup Phil Pritchard snapped this photo of the newborn napping in the Stanley Cup, melting hearts everywhere.

The Blackhawks acquired Vermette from the Coyotes in March. He said last week he hopes to be a part of the team again next season.
