FARGO, N.D. — The most popular trophy in sports won’t be the only historical artifact on display next week when Penguins center Matt Cullen shows it off in the Fargo, N. D., and Moorhead, Minn., metropolitan area. The Stanley Cup will be next to a Stanley car.
A West Fargo antique car museum is tuning up a 1936 Rolls-Royce that belonged to Edward Stanley, himself a hockey player and son of the man who founded the trophy that goes to the NHL champion.
His father, Frederick Stanley, was the Governor General of Canada and became interested in hockey because Edward and his siblings played the game.
