The oldest and arguably the most revered trophy in North American professional sports -- the Stanley Cup -- is coming to Duluth and will be on display this Friday afternoon (Oct. 4) at AMSOIL Arena. From 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. that day, the general public is welcome to stop by and see the Cup in the AMSOIL concourse. The University of Minnesota Duluth women will open their 2013-14 regular season that night against the University of Connecticut and both tickets and parking to the game are free. Opening faceoff is set for 6:07 p.m.

Those wishing to get a photo taken with the Stanley Cup are being asked for a minimum $5.00 donation which will benefit UMD hockey scholarships, the National Marrow Donor Program and Breast Cancer Research in honor of cancer survivors associated with the UMD hockey program.

This event was made possible by former three-time All-American Bulldog defenseman and Duluth resident Norm Maciver, the assistant general manager of the Chicago Blackhawks, who captured the Stanley Cup title last June.
