Buffalo, NY – The Stanley Cup is coming to Buffalo... without the Sabres' name on it. But it will have the name of Patrick Kane, who's bringing it home to South Buffalo on Friday.
Kane will, as promised, take it to Niagara Falls to have his picture taken with it at the Cave of the Winds. Later, he and the Cup will visit patients at Roswell Park. Members of the Buffalo police and fire departments and their families will be able to see it in the afternoon at New Era Cap Company.
Schedule of public events to view Stanley Cup:
8:30 am - Cave of the Winds in Niagara Falls State Parks for photo on the Hurricane Deck
