Washington D.C.'s deputy mayor Kevin Donahue had hinted the victory parade for the Washington Capitals would be held next week.
Donahue took to Twitter to give fans an excuse for being late to work after the Washington Capitals won their first ever Stanley Cup.
At the end of the note, he says "PS - Your employee will also be taking a sick day next week for a victory parade."
