Tampa Bay Lighting winger Ruslan Fedotenko (Musketeers 98-99)  brings The Stanley Cup to Sioux City's Tyson Event Center. 
The cup arrives several hours late, but almost 3000 dedicated hockey fans patiently await a chance to see the Cup
and meet again with the guy who scored both goals in the 2-1 game seven victory.

 

While Ruslan hoists the Cup In Sioux City, my three boys fit nicely in the Stanley Cup travel case.
