Stanley Cup rink tour, Sept. 6

For those looking for a chance at a photo with the Stanley Cup, there are a couple events on the horizon. Season-ticket holders should already have received information about an event with the Cup. If that information didn’t get to you, contact your season-ticket representative as soon as possible.

Also, there will be an opportunity — but not a guarantee — to get a picture with the Stanley Cup on Sept. 6 at hockey rinks in Oxnard, Simi Valley, Panorama City, Valencia, Burbank and Pasadena. Each of those rinks will hold a charity raffle, which will benefit the youth hockey program at the rink. At each location, 50 winners will be selected. Each winner (and a guest, if desired) will get a professionally-taken photo with the Cup — no personal cameras allowed — and the photo will be available online for a free download.

Again, the event will be held on Thursday, Sept. 6. (According to the Kings, there will be a second, similar event, to be announced at a later date.) For details about how to buy tickets for each of the raffles, please contact the rinks directly. I will post the rinks, times and pertinent contact information…
