There’s an excellent chance the Stanley Cup will return to Colorado this summer.
Too many direct or indirect Mile High bloodlines and familiar names are playing in the upcoming Cup Final for Lord Stanley’s Cup not to make a visit to the Centennial State in the coming months.
The list begins with Boston Bruins defenseman Brandon Carlo, who is from Colorado Springs. Carlo, 22, played youth hockey in the Springs before commuting north to Littleton to join the midget triple-A Colorado Thunderbirds. If the Bruins defeat the St. Louis Blues in the Final — Game 1 is Monday night in Boston — the Cup will certainly spend a day or two in the Springs.
