Brayden Schenn brings Stanley Cup to Saskatoon

The Stanley Cup made an appearance in Saskatoon on Friday.

Brayden Schenn, a center for the St.Louis Blues brought the legendary hockey trophy to Fire Station #1 on Idylwyld–it’s where his father, Jeff, is the battalion chief.

He also made an appearance at the paediatrics ward at Royal University Hospital.

“A lot of kids got a chance to see it,” he said. “You try and keep as many people happy as possible, and try to share (the cup) with as many people as possible.”

However, he said it’s a challenge to accommodate everyone.

“It’s tough. You only get 10, 12 hours with it. This thing’s on a tight schedule,” Scheen explained.

That’s the reason he didn’t do any public showings of hockey’s most prestigious trophy.

Regardless, Schenn said it was an honour to be able to contribute to the city’s hockey legacy.

“Obviously, Saskatchewan has produced a lot of great hockey players, so it’s pretty special to bring it back to Saskatoon,” he said.

Jeff is proud of his son for getting their family name etched onto the cup.

“It’s amazing… hopefully, we can get it on there a few more times,” Jeff said.

Whether Brayden wins another Cup or his other son Luke takes one home with the Tampa Bay Lightning, Jeff is grateful.

“I’m a very lucky parent to be able to do this,” he said.

Brayden scored 12 points in the playoffs, capping it off with a goal in game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final. The Blues beat the Boston Bruins 4-1.
