After a team wins, each player and staff member gets to spend 24 hours with the Stanley Cup. That is one of the neatest things about the Cup. Too bad each member of winning MLB, NBA and NFL team don't get to do the same thing. Then many more people will get the chance to see the trophy and it can be used for charity fundraising.
The trophy spent the first couple weeks of its post-championship tour in Chicago after the Hawks 2013 win, then went on the road in the U.S., Canada, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Sweden.
While the Cup was on tour in Slovakia, right winger Marian Hossa ate pierogies out of it.
I wonder how many times it has served as a cereal bowl or baby holder or bathing tub?
Taking the other trophies on tour like the Cup would make them less of a millionaire's cup and more of a people's cup.
