Nazem Kadri Day With Cup Includes First-Ever Visit To Mosque

Today is the day with the Stanley Cup for former Avalanche center (still weird typing that) Nazem Kadri. He’s showing it all over his hometown of London, Ontario, including a trip to the London Muslim Mosque – the first time that’s ever been done with a player of Muslim heritage in the Cup’s 124-year history.

This is believed to be the first time in history that the Cup has entered a mosque. @HkyNightPunjabi @NHL @Sportsnet pic.twitter.com/wRIZAm8hvv

What a great day for Kadri, for hockey and the Stanley Cup. If there is one unifying force in this world, an object that brings together every single person of every race, creed or religion today, it is Lord Stanley’s Cup.
