Nazem Kadri Will Make History During Time with the Stanley Cup

Nazem Kadri has a polarizing history, but he is now a Stanley Cup champion. The coverage of the Colorado Avalanche players' respective days with the Cup from the Keeper himself, Phil Pritchard, is one of the great traditions of hockey's offseason. In a time devoid of hockey content, it provides fans a glimpse into the personal lives of players, and it also documents all the bumps and bruises the Cup endures in a summer with hockey players.

Kadri's day with the Cup will be on August 27, when he will host a community event at London Muslim Mosque, making him the first Stanley Cup champion to do so:

Kadri, who is of Lebanese descent, attributes much of his core principles and teachings to Islam. Now that he has a Stanley Cup ring, maybe he will earn a little more respect around the hockey community.
