Oh, the places you’ll go when you win the oldest trophy in professional team sports.
The Washington Capitals will bring the Stanley Cup to seven countries by the end of the summer, one shy of the record for the most countries it has visited in one offseason, Phil Pritchard confirmed to The Washington Times.
Pritchard, the vice president and curator of the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, is more commonly known to NHL fans as the “Keeper of the Cup,” whose duty it is to travel with the trophy and arrange the itinerary of offseason player visits.
