You’re not supposed to touch the Stanley Cup before you win it, but that rule didn’t apply to Nelson hockey fans on Sunday.
Bruno Campese was granted a day with the NHL’s greatest prize after winning the title in June as a scout for the Vegas Golden Knights.
Campese, a Nelson native who previously played for and coached the Leafs, chose to make the Cup available to the public at the Nelson and District Community Complex on Sunday afternoon.
The event drew hundreds of hockey fans before it was then whisked away to Trail where scout Craig Cunningham had his turn with it.
