Each year the National Hockey League awards the
Stanley Cup
to the team which wins the league championship.
Traditionally, each member of that team is allowed to spend a day with the Cup,
doing whatever they please (within reason).
In 1999 the Dallas Stars won the championship, and that summer Joe Nieuwendyk brought the Cup to Cornell University, where he had been a student. As the Cup made the rounds in Ithaca, I had a chance to check it out. Thanks, Joe!
