The Stanley Cup


What can I say about sports' oldest trophy, that hockey fans around the world don't already know.

Well, some things people don't know. The trophy, unlike any others, is given to each player on the team for 24 hours at a time, to do with what they want.

Most of course, spend hours at children's wards in hospitals. But, some, like Chris Simon ... take it fishing!

Other interesting towns/cities that the Cup has visited: Fishing Lake, AB -- a Native reservation of the Metis Nation four hours from Edmonton; Anchorage, Alaska with Scott Gomez; Wawa, Ontario with Chris Simon.
