Get your camera ready. The Stanley Cup makes an appearance in New West next week.
The trophy will be on display Thursday, Aug. 21 at the Glenbrook Fire Hall between 3:15 and 6 p.m.
This is the third time Bill Ranford, local resident and L.A. Kings Goalie Coach, is bringing the cherished silver chalice to the Royal City. In 2012, it was shown at Queen's Park and at Moody Park Arena in 2004.
Donations are encouraged, with proceeds going to the Firefighters' Charitable Society and Honour House.
"This is also about giving back to the community. Honour House is really a home away from home for first responders and their families who need a place to stay while receiving medical treatment."
Armstrong said his squad is also throwing a BBQ and will have the 1929 Mack fire truck parked out front. "Not only will you get a history lesson of the Stanley Cup, but of the fire department too. Come down, have a hot dog and get your picture taken," he said.
The L.A. Kings won the NHL title earlier this year by defeating the New York Rangers four games to one. Ranford has won the Cup four times - twice as a player with the Edmonton Oilers in 1988 and 1990.
