The Blackhawks aren't done showcasing the Stanley Cup around the city as it will pop up along with the team during Sunday's White Sox-Cubs game at Wrigley Field.
When the tour of Chicago is finally finished and following the engraving of up to 55 names on the Cup that will take several weeks, each player will get 24 hours with it. Here's a sampling of what Hawks players intend to do with it:
"It's out of my hands," veteran center John Madden said of leaving it up to his family. "The kids have already figured it out. I don't know what's going to happen. It's theirs for the day. That was the promise I made them."
Forward Patrick Sharp is one of many who will take it to their hometowns.
"I'm going to bring the Cup back to Thunder Bay, Ontario," Sharpsaid. "I'm proud to do it. I just hope they spell my name wrong whenthey put my name on the Cup."
After pausing, the noted jokester Sharp added with a smile. "Sorry, spell it right."
Sharp also said thus far the Cup has managed to remain undamaged during the Hawks' celebration.
"Every time you grab it you hang onto it pretty tight," Sharp said."I don't want to be the first guy to drop it so it's not going to beme. It's still intact and in pretty good shape."
Goaltender Antti Niemi said the Cup is ticketed for a trip to Vantaa, Finland.
"For sure, I'm going to take it home," Niemi said.
Patrick Kane, Marian Hossa and Troy Brouwer also said they'd bring it home to Buffalo, Slovakia and Vancouver, respectively.
One player not yet sure what he'll do with the Cup is defenseman Duncan Keith.
"I don't have any plans yet," Keith said. "I haven't thought about that yet but it will be a good day."
