Whether it is a celebration with the Stanley Cup champions as they take hockeys greatest prize back to their hometowns or spreading the hockey gospel according to Stanley, the trophy is recognized and revered everywhere it goes. And Phil Pritchard, the keeper of the cup, is with Stanley every step of the way. Travels with Stanley chronicles many of these visits. But this is not a photo essay on the Stanley Cup; it's a book that is as educational as it is entertaining.
