Labor Day with the Stanley Cup

The Holy Grail known as the Stanley Cup made it's way to my sisters house this Labor day weekend and of course we had to have a party. My sister and her husband both work for the Ducks and my Dad and myself have been seat holders since they entered into the league. My sister was given the cup for half of the day because she works in hockey operations for the Ducks.

During the day a steady stream of friends, family, co-workers and other well wishes showed up to eat, drink and of course take their picture with the Cup.

Mike Bolt the keeper of the Cup was there to make sure we kept in line with the rules of the cup, one being you are not allowed to hoist it over your head unless the person whose day it is, is with you and touching the cup, also you could not grab it by the bowl due to the fact through its travels over the summer it had become a little weak.

It was a great day topped off by chilling some Dom Periginon in the Cup and then taking a sip out of the greatest trophy on earth.
