Vancouver Giants News Release


The year was 1915...The Vancouver Millionaires, led by the Legendary Fred 'Cyclone' Taylor, swept the Ottawa Senators for Vancouver's one and only Stanley Cup. At the time, it was the farthest west that a team had captured Lord Stanley's Cup, and today it is still the only time in Vancouver's sport's history that the Holy Grail of Hockey can be called Vancouver's

NOW...93 years later and one year removed from their 2007 Memorial Cup Championship, THE VANCOUVER GIANTS are set to bring the Stanley Cup back to Vancouver and the Pacific Coliseum for what will surely be one of the most memorable nights in VANCOUVER HOCKEY HISTORY!

On Friday, November 21, 2008 the Giants will host the Kamloops Blazers at 7:30pm and will celebrate Stanley Cup Legends Night by wearing authentic Vancouver Millionaires jerseys and honouring the following Stanley Cup Winners who will be here in person for a special pre-game ceremony:

* Dave "The Hammer" Schultz (2 Cups)

* Gerry Cheevers (2 Cups)

* Johnny Bower (4 Cups)

* Steve Shutt (5 Cups)

* Yvon "Roadrunner" Cournoyer (10 Cups)

The first 5,000 fans through the doors will receive a commemorative poster featuring the Millionaires' famous team photo and a collage of the Stanley Cup Legends in attendance. Also, 100 random fans will win the chance to get autographs from all five Legends!

And of course the night wouldn't be complete without having the Stanley Cup on display!

Stanley Cup Legends Night is proudly presented by Save-on-Foods, Maple Leaf Foods, and Global Television.
