The Stanley Cup has been in a lot of unique settings over the years.
“Especially after the trauma from last year, it would be a pretty cool event to have. That’s where it started from. We wanted to do something at the mosque and it grew from there.”The 31-year-old Kadri will bring the Cup into the mosque for a photo shoot at the prayer hall before starting the celebration outside. The city will shut down Oxford Street in the area for speeches by community leaders Munir El-Kassem and Faisal Joseph before the parade begins at 12:05 p.m.
The route, expected to include fire trucks and the London Knights bus, will head from the mosque east on Oxford to Richmond Street and south to Victoria Park for another ceremony at 12:45 p.m. Kadri, who signed with Calgary last week after winning it all with the Colorado Avalanche, has taken a stand against racism throughout his career, but faced it again online during the playoff series win over St. Louis.Article content
