Dust off the Cup!
Adrienne Clarkson, our governor general, has made a good suggestion. Her idea is to award hockey's Stanley Cup to the winner of a women's challenge series. One hell of a good idea, Adrienne! I just can't see all the good ol' boys of winter buying it. They would probably argue that it's only for men's teams, tradition and all that, you know.
The sport itself is not for men only. In fact, with the NHL screwing up the whole season this year, there's only "girls of winter" at the national level, left on the ice. Why don't you guys show us exactly where it is written that Lord Stanley's cup has to be hoisted by male hands? If you can't do that, then maybe it's time to loosen your petty strangle hold on the award, and share it with people who are still playing the sport.
