Arizona Sundogs News Release
PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. - The Arizona Sundogs today announced that sports' greatest trophy, the Stanley Cup will be on hand at the Tim's Toyota Center on December 30 while the Sundogs take on Southwest Division Rival, the New Mexico Scorpions. Game time is set for 7:30pm.
Fans in attendance can view the Stanley Cup on the concourse throughout the game and can also opt to have their photograph taken with the Cup for $5.00.
A Brief History: The Stanley Cup, when first donated to hockey in 1893 by Canada's sixth governor general, Lord Frederick Arthur Stanley, was nothing more than an elaborate punchbowl. But its significance, and its size, increased exponentially through the years.
The design of the Stanley Cup has been acknowledged as 'perfect' by players and fans alike. Standing 35.25 inches tall, the design is recognized world-wide and is one of the true icons of sport. Because of its age, legacy and shape, the Stanley Cup has an aura about it that no other sport can claim. It is also one of the few trophies on which the champions have their names engraved.
The Stanley Cup, along with HHOF employee and Stanley Cup curator Mike Bolt, will make several stops in Central Hockey League markets, coming directly from the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, Ontario.
