City prepares for return of Lord Stanley's Cup

An informal City committee is making plans for the expected return of the Stanley Cup to Sault Ste. Marie.

The secret preparations were disclosed at tonight's City Council meeting, after councillors voted to congratulate homeboy Tyler Kennedy for his role in helping Pittsburgh Penguins to win 2009 Stanley Cup on June 12.

City officials are hoping Kennedy will bring the coveted trophy back to his home community.

No mention was made tonight of another Sault homie, Penguins Scout Ron Pyette, shown hoisting Lord Stanley's Cup in the Pen's dressing room at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.

The following is the full text of the motion passed tonight by City Council:

************************* Mover - Councillor T. Sheehan Seconder - Councillor S. Myers

Whereas the Pittsburg Penguins are the 2009 Stanley Cup Champions; and

Whereas Tyler Kennedy is a proud Saultite and his great play helped the Penguins win the Cup;

Now therefore be it resolved that Sault Ste. Marie City Council on behalf of all citizens of Sault Ste. Marie expresses sincere congratulations to Tyler and to his family on this momentous occasion and further that Sault Ste. Marie looks forward to the Stanley Cup coming to our city once again.
