Toronto - 14 October 2012 - Hockey Hall of Fame


Old Town Toronto, decorated with balloons celebrating the finishers for the Toronto Waterfront Marathon

Such beautiful architecture, right in the middle of Front Street! Reminiscent of New York City's Flatiron Building

Destination: Hockey Hall of Fame

Or, in French, le Temple de la Renommee du Hockey

From across the street

The grand entrance to Hockey's Hall of Fame

A giant champagne bottle, given to the Los Angeles Kings, to be opened upon their winning of the Stanley Cup

The scissors that Patrick Roy used to cut the net from his record-breaking 448th career victory

The Colorado Avalanche franchise display and memorabilia

I was super excited to see some equipment from my favorite Avalanche player, Alex Tanguay!

The four goal pucks from game 7 of the 2001 Stanley Cup Finals, with goal scorer labels

Joe Sakic's helmet from the 2001 Stanley Cup playoffs

A vintage Colorado Rockies jersey

The replica Montreal Canadiens' dressing room, complete with gear representing Maurice "the Rocket" Richard and Howie Morenz...

... as well as Patrick Roy's equipment. You can pick up and "wear" the leg pads, but they are pretty heavy!

The original wooden carrying case for the Stanley Cup, complete with lock and key for extra security

Trophy time! The Vezina trophy, for the best goaltender in the NHL

The Clarence Campbell Bowl, awarded to the Western Conference Playoff Champion team

The Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy, given to the leader in goal scoring for the NHL

The original Stanley Cup. That's right, the cup that champions hoist and drink from is not the original, but looks just like it
