millbank Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 This summer, the Stanley Cup will again log thousands of travel miles. As plans are being finalized, it appears the Cup will travel to three Canadian provinces (British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario), seven states (North Carolina, North Dakota, Michigan, Maine, Missouri, New York and Minnesota) as well as to the Czech Republic, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland and the Ukraine. Every Hurricane player can celebrate in the way he best sees fit, but you know that every celebration, no matter how public or private, will include a drink (or two) out of the bowl of the Stanley Cup. Hall of Famer Red Kelly laughs every time he witnesses this time-honoured tradition take place. "In the last game (of the Stanley Cup final), I had my knee frozen and I passed out in the shower," began Red. "They took me to the hospital on a stretcher. Mr. Pearson (the Canadian Prime Minister) was at the game and he came into the dressing room and I didn't even get to see him. I was on crutches and didn't get to be part of any of the celebration. (Leaf owner) Harold Ballard brought the Cup and a couple bottles of champagne and a photographer out to my house and they took a picture of my family around the Cup. I put my newborn son Conn (named after former Leaf owner, Conn Smythe) in the Cup and they took a picture. And the look on Conn's face -- he did the whole load in the Cup! Our family always chuckles when they see guys drinking the champagne out of the Cup." Tomorrow the Stanley Cup Visits New York City with Aaron Ward and Eric Staal , this also must be a most special time for players as they take the cup on journey in their Home towns, it would have to be most special sharing this with their family, local buddies and townsfolk places of childhood and growing up dreaming to be a player and winning the Cup .

Let's hope they didn't have to call a Blacksmith like Messier and the Rangers had to, after Stanley went to a NYC Strip club...
