As part of Stanley Cup tradition, players on the winning team each get to spend 24 hours with the Cup in their possession. Local hockey hero – and Pittsburgh Penguins Captain – Sidney Crosby is bringing the Stanley Cup home to HRM for a day. There are lots of events happening to celebrate: HRM has a list of them here.

If you can’t make it to Cole Harbour – or if like me, you need to brush up on your hockey and Stanley Cup lore — you might want to check out these titles:
Legendary Stanley Cup Stories by Brian McFarlane

Travels with Stanley by The Keepers of the Cup

Lord Stanley: the Man Behind the Cup by Kevin Shea

There are also a couple of recent biographies of Sidney Crosby you might be interested in:

Sidney Crosby: A Hockey Story by Paul Arseneault with Paul Hollingsworth
The Kid : a season with Sidney Crosby and the new NHL by Shawna Richer

Or you might want to check out biographies of other Canadian hockey players, of which the library has many.
