Lord Stanley's Cup Visits Gates

I've been on a sports kick for the past week, so I thought I'd mention the fact that I got to see (and touch) the Stanley Cup today.

As you probably know, members of the winning team each get a day with the Cup. they can do whatever they want with it. It turns out that my brother lives across the street from a guy who is the Mighty Ducks equipment manager. He brought the Cup to Gates.

He had it in the house on Fisher Road and a bunch of friends and neighbors got to see it and take pictures with it before he took it to Rookies Pub on Buffalo Road. My wife has a picture where she appears to be drinking from the Cup. I was less sacrilegious; I just touched it.

Its pretty cool up close and personal.
