       As Hockey Day In Canada approaches here on PEI people are becoming quite excited. The people of PEI are proud of their hockey heritage and are preparing to show it off to the rest of Canada. 2012 marks the first year that the Stanley Cup tour is happening and on Wednesday , February 7th , as part of its Western PEI swing the Cup will be on display at our local rink in O'Leary from 1:10 to 2:10 PM. The keeper of the Cup , Phil Pritchard will also be in attendance making sure that Lord Stanley looks his best. The local Elementary school will have class pictures taken with the Holy Grail followed by interested locals. We intend to have two RCMP officers dressed in Red Serge, the singing of O' Canada , and Stanley Cup clinching game audio blaring throughout the arena to help complete this special moment. Following the viewing of the Cup and the picture taking everyone will be invited upstairs to take part in a reception featuring you guessed it , a Stanley Cup  cake. If  you happen to be in the area feel free to drop in and view the names engraved on the cup which include Howe, Hull, Shore,Richard, Horton, Crosby, and  of course Gretzky.
