Stanley Cup's tradition sets it apart
/The Los Angeles Times profiles Philip Pritchard, or, as he’s better known to hockey fans, the keeper of the Cup.
Of the Stanley Cup, Pritchard says, “It’s probably the best trophy in all of sport. The tradition of it, there’s probably nothing that compares to it.”
He noted, “Nothing against the other sports, but they make a new Super Bowl trophy every year, a new World Series trophy every year, a new NBA championship Larry O’Brien trophy every year, but the Stanley Cup is the same one, and I think that’s what sets it apart from any other sport.”
Of his Twitter account, Pritchard says, “To have 41,000 people follow us is pretty unbelievable, but again it goes back to the fanatical fans. It’s neat when the winning team comes up and says, 'Hey I follow you on Twitter,' and I say. 'I follow you too.' ”
