A story from the Canadian Press today has a partial rundown of when and where the Kings will be taking the Stanley Cup around the world this summer. At this moment, I don’t know others, and I have no idea whether these dates are accompanied by any public appearances. It is entirely up to the players as to what they choose to do with the Cup. If you’re in any of these areas, I would suggest monitoring the local media as the date gets closer.
[NOTE; The Kings have said that the schedule is preliminary, and a reminder that most of these events will be private, not public. Any/all public celebrations will presumably be reported locally.]
Hey Rich, you’re a Kings employee, do you get a day with the Cup??? I hope you at least got a chance to hoist it? Would love to see a photo if you did. You traveled everywhere with the Kings, you deserve it!

@Steve W, the Cup was in Wrigley Field two years ago, at a Cubs-White Sox game. It obviously had no effect, unless the regression of the Black Hawks counts as an effect.

@Paulhb,
I don’t know about Rich having the privilege to take the Cup: Rich is not a fan of the Kings, according to Rich.
But it seems like he is enjoying it, just like others who may have followed the team for a much shorter time. So maaaaaybe, just maaaaaybe, through all this recent crescendo of excitement and employed attachment to the team he has had a small infusion of Royal blood that made its way to his heart and (though he might protest) that heart has now been pumping in a Kingly manner and (though he might fight it) his heart can’t help but have those Royal emotions stirred up. Go KINGS Go! Well, I guess thennnn you can share in the Cup.

I didn’t understand the phenomenon before cause I always thought SC winners would be in better shape…but having the off-season cup down by 2 full months…wow.

I remember last year on nhl.com they had stories popping up all the time about what each guy did with the Cup for their day. I hope they do that again this year!

We have 3 days in Montreal, then a quick drive to Toronto for a visit to the HOF then heading to Boston to catch the Angels at Fenway for a couple of games. If the Cup isn’t at the HOF, it would be fun to catch up to it somewhere in the northeast.
I wonder why Alec is taking it to Texas. Anybody? And could we as fans just have our own day with the cup? It could be like having Santa at the mall.. Stand in a ridiculously long line, take a photo and call it good?

Good Morning
So excited for the cup to be comming to our town of Port McNeill. Many of our kids grew up with Willie and will be coming home to see this cup. Our main festival is on Aug 18/12 which is called ORCA FEST. It would be so awesome if you would consider that date instead of Aug 12 so that the cup and our local hero Willie Mitchell could ride in the parade. A parade that desperately needs some excitement that this would bring. Thank you so much for considering this.
