The Stanley Cup has seen everything. It’s been almost everywhere, too. That’s part of the charm of the NHL’s version of the prized Holy Grail. If you’re ever lucky enough to hoist it, it means you get to spend at least one full day with it, doing almost anything you and Lord Stanley’s silver chalice can imagine.
Josh Archibald, who joined the Coyotes last week in a trade from the Pittsburgh Penguins, picked a pretty special way to celebrate his solo day with the Cup this past August.
After arranging for a private jet to fly him and the trophy to the family lake house in Minnesota, he and his wife, Bailey, chose to have their baby boy, Brecken, baptized in the bowl of the Stanley Cup.
