St. Louis Blues forward Brayden Schenn is bringing the Stanley Cup to his hometown of Saskatoon.
The coveted trophy is scheduled to make a brief appearance at a press event on Friday, July 5, at Fire Station No. 1.
The Saskatoon Fire Department said this is a closed family function and the public will not be provided entry.
The 27-year-old NHLer intends to celebrate with friends and family, including his father Jeff Schenn, who is a battalion chief with the fire department.
Restrictions will be in place at the Fire Station No. 1 for the duration of the function. The fire station will remain open for administrative and operational purposes.
Brayden played with the Saskatoon Contacts of the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League, and was with the Western Hockey League’s Saskatoon Blades during the 2010-11 season.
The Stanley Cup came to Saskatoon last August, thanks to Washington Capitals forward Chandler Stephenson.
