Lord Stanley’s cup is on its way to Moose Jaw! The Chicago Blackhawk’s 2009/10 Stanley Cup Champion equipment manager, Troy Parchman calls the Friendly City home and wants to share the Holy Grail with all of Moose Jaw-- for just one day. “We are very honoured to have Troy and the Stanley Cup in the friendly city,” said Director of Business Corey Nyhagen. “Having the cup here is very special to the Warriors organization and having the opportunity to share it with our fans is incredible,” added Nyhagen. “Both Troy Parchman and Troy Brouwer were part of the 2010 Stanley Cup winning Blackhawks franchise and the people of Moose Jaw are honoured to share in their success,” he said. “The Stanley Cup is one of hockey’s most legendary trophies and it’s appearance here in Moose Jaw will be remembered for a long time,” added Nyhagen.
