This story makes me proud to be a fan of hockey. Glen Wesley just earned even more respect from me as a person and a player. Imagine if he had won the Cup sooner in his career!!

A class act.

Bravo.

Maybe a Canadian will bring to Cup to one of our bases so our soldier can see it.

One word; class

On a somewhat related note, I think giving each person on the team a day with the cup is one of the best things in sports. To my knowledge, no other league does this, and even if they did, it wouldn't be the same as The Cup

Yup. We just don't bomb people to solve our problems so no one knows we exist.

You should really try it, look at what boming has done for the Goold ol' US.

As a matter of fact, on June 6, 1944, aka D-Day, the Canadians were the only armed forces to land on Normandy Beach where they were supposed to. Its a good thing they did because our guys were swept right into the worst areas of the fortified beach head. But lets not start a US/Canada thread here. This thread is to celebrate what Glen Wesley did with his time with the Cup.

unfortunately that isn't the type of press that makes it into the stories of the Cup..

Wesley is a great guy..completely in character in how he is as a person..

[Edge 0]

That's awesome. Very good idea from Wesley. Like said above, PLEASE don't start another US/Canada arguement, there have been enough of those.

Dya think they'd be allowed to take it to Iraq? :D

great story. i wish more pro players(all sports) would have as much class and the since of giving that glen wesley has.

on a side note parris island is in south carolina just north of hilton head. we could see the lights of the island at nite. were as camp lejuene is in north carolina north of wilmimgton in hte town of jacksonville. they are about about 6 hours apart.

Glen Wesley is a class act. That was really cool what he did.

I was just in Jacksonville earlier tonight. We flew in the wives, girlfriends and friday night strippers.

I've been there as well - cousin of mine is a captain. We went to the base after his first tour of duty of Iraq...pretty neat with the helicopters flying in and stuff.

Vapor, they only have one soldier so thats another reason nobody knows Canada exists.
