Hello readers, and I'm so sorry about my absence. Things just got really out of hand for me, but I have got to finish this blog. So to wrap things up quickly, I am going to publish 6 blog posts today, so I can catch myself up and have all my posts done. So, for post 1 and 2 of 6, I will talk about the history of the Stanley Cup, ice hockey's ultimate prize. The source I referenced was; Hutchinson, Sean. "22 Things You Might Not Know About the Stanley Cup." Mental Floss. Web. <http://mentalfloss.com/article/51140/22-things-you-might-not-know-about-stanley-cup>. This website had several small facts and details that I found to be very interesting, but I don't think I could really use this as a research source. The site only contained small factoids and not in-depth research, so this article doesn't fit the purpose of my research. But, I'll list my favorite informative facts from the page for you guys, just because I think you might like to hear them;
- Every player, coach, and officiating staff member from the winning team that year has their name engraved on the cup
- The Stanley Cup is always accompanied by at least one appointed member of the Hockey Hall of Fame, and is called the, "Keeper of the Cup"
- During the NHL off-season, each individual player from the winning team is allowed one whole day with the cup
Well, that's all for this post, but there's a lot more coming, so see you then!
