"There is no trophy like the Stanley Cup. It has the names of every champion who's won it engraved on its shining sides. And when it is won, it is presented first to the players, who have fought so hard to raise it above their heads. The Cup is special in another way, too. Every summer, it goes on a cross-continent tour (and sometimes overseas), visiting every player, coach, and team member who won it that year. Everyone gets their day with the Cup--chaperoned by one of the ever-watchful Keepers of the Cup from the Hockey Hall of Fame to make sure it doesn't get into too much trouble. The Cup has been everywhere, from the bottom of a pool at a rock star's mansion, to a ride through the sky above Montreal in a helicopter flown by none other than hockey legend Guy Lafleur. It has served beer and champagne, breakfast cereal for kids, popcorn, and hotdogs. It brings joy to players and fans and inspires awe everywhere it goes. In this heartwarming book, veteran sportscaster and bestselling author Jim Lang has interviewed more than thirty players and coaches-- and a couple of Keepers of the Cup--to collect these behind-the-scenes stories of the Stanley Cup's adventures. Each one reminds us of who we are and who we aspire to be--and that the greatest achievements in life are best celebrated with others."-- Provided by publisher.
