From the Publisher: On June 12, 2009, the Pittsburgh Penguins and Detroit Red Wings faced off for a dramatic Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Championship. It had been a heroic season, featuring brilliant play by all contributors. Both teams deserved their place in hockey history, but only on would celebrate victory. In the end, one goal separated the teams, and with a 2-1 win, it was the Penguins’ turn to hoist Lord Stanley’s coveted Cup. Led by Sidney Crosby–the youngest captain in NHL history to win the Cup–the Pittsburgh Penguins brought their fans the third Championship in franchise history, and the first since 1992.

On June 15, the Penguins paraded the Stanley Cup through the streets of Pittsburgh, to the delight of an estimated 375,000 fans who lined the route. Team owner Mario Lemieux proudly proclaimed that the Cup had returned to the place where it belonged and Crosby thrilled the crowd with his stated intention to repeat the team’s success.

For the two months that followed, the Cup belonged to the Penguins. In a tradition that began in 1995, the Stanley Cup has traveled the globe, spending a day with each member of the Championship team. In My Day with the Cup, Sidney Crosby takes fans along for his own special day. From public celebrations and hospital visits, to helicopter rides and just relaxing at home with his mom and dad, all of Sidney’s stops are covered. Written by Crosby himself and featuring up-close-and-personal photography from Brad McCaughan, My Day with the Cup is a tribute to the realization of a childhood dream by a boy from Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia.
