Do you remember the Mine Mill women's ball team and 1950 Northern Ontario Champions? Join the Greater Sudburians are Great Sports party in Copper Cliff next weekend.
Many thanks to Bell Canada. They have backed this event in a big way. Thanks to Bell Canada, the Stanley Cup will be at McClelland Community Centre, Friday, June 3, from 10 am to 9 pm. The public will be able to view the cup and learn some of its history.

The cup is only part of the exhibits being sponsored by Bell Canada. They are also sponsoring the Hockey Hall of Fame Legend's Exhibit. This exhibit, open next Friday, Saturday and Sunday, is 2,000 square feet of cases housing the most incredible array of memorabilia I have ever seen assembled in one place.

The exhibit is broken up into eight sections. Sudbury and Area is partially represented by a stick once owned by the legendary Toe Blake.

From the NHL milestones section, you will be able to see the stick that Maurice "The Rocket" Richard scored his 200th goal. From the stars of Today section, you will be able to see Mark Messier's skates. My favourite section is the Team Canada section, which will include Marc-Andre Fleury's mask.

The exhibit has a section just for Wayne Gretzky. The two feature teams in the Legends exhibit are the Boston Bruins and the Chicago Black Hawks.
