nyk Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN_guX3jAGYThe Spokane Chiefs defeated the Kitchener Rangers, 4-1, to win the 90th Memorial Cup on Sunday. And then teammates Chris Bruton and Trevor Glass accidently broke the damn thing. Oops:Chris Bruton lifted the trophy over his head twice Sunday and kissed it. Then, as he was about to hand it to teammate Trevor Glass, the cup became separated from its heavy base, which fell to the ice, drawing boos from fans at Memorial Auditorium who already were disappointed that their home team lost. The good news is that it's a replica trophy. The one that has been handed out to the junior hockey champion since 1919 is in the Hockey Hall of Fame."It just kind of crumbled in my hands and I'm sure I'll be all over YouTube and I'll get e-mails for the rest of my life over that, but I don't care because we won the cup and that's all that matters," Bruton said. "It's just as beautiful and maybe more beautiful that we have that top off and we can drink from the cup a little easier."-Yahoo Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkrdevil Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Saw that live and several times after on Youtube. That was classic the best is the team picture at the end of the celebration where they are holding the cup portion over the base. Fortunatly that was only a replica of the Memorial Cup the original Memorial Cup is permanently on display at the Hall of Fame I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Earlier this month, the bowl of the new, fake IHL's new, fake Turner Cup came clean off as it was being awarded postgame to the Fort Wayne Komets. That sums up the league better than anything else I can think of.

gingerbreadmann Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 The way it broke, he didn't drop it, it wasn't well-made enough to suppotr itself across the middle of the trophy, specifically where the cup attaches to the base. So it wasn't actually his fault! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinMcD Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I was at the NLL Championship game and as they were lifting the trophy up it looked like it may come apart just like this one did. Then a week after this happens, wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
