Parade planned to start at noon
Associated Press
DENVER -- The Stanley Cup victory parade that brought
snickers from the New Jersey Devils is scheduled to roll through
downtown Monday during the noon hour.
The Colorado Avalanche players, coaches and their families will
ride fire trucks along a 15-block route to celebrate their victory
in the final game of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Word of the parade slipped out even before Game 7 began Saturday
night, prompting Devils defenseman Ken Daneyko to warn, "Nobody's
won nothing yet."
"There's still a hockey game to be played, and we're pretty
excited about the opportunity to put a little bit of disruption in
the parade plans the city has already made here," he said.
The Avalanche won the game 3-1 and the parade plans went up on
the city and the team's Web sites Sunday.
A high school band, a drum and bugle corps, youth hockey players
and a Marine color guard will accompany the Avalanche. The parade
will end with a rally in a park between the state Capitol and the
city and county building.
The Avs will bring along the Stanley Cup, the Presidents' Trophy
for best record in the regular season, the Clarence Campbell Bowl
for winning the NHL Western Division and the Conn Smythe Trophy for
most valuable player in the playoffs, presented to goalie Patrick
Roy. Send this story to a friend | Most sent stories
