\"\"<\/a>Rich Peverley, who graduated from Canton’s St. Lawrence University in 2004, didn’t just make the roster for the Boston Bruins\u00a0 win over Vancouver – he emerged a major factor.\u00a0 This from the SLU Athletics Department<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Peverley, who was obtained by the Bruins on Feb. 18 from the Atlanta Thrashers, was inserted on the first line by Bruins coach Claude Julien to replace Nathan Horton, who was knocked out of the series against Vancouver with a severe concussion in game three of the series.<\/p>\n

He responded with a pair of goals in the 4-0 Bruins win in game two, which tied the series at 2-2.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One thing that surprised me:\u00a0 This is actually the first time a former SLU alum has captured the Stanley Cup as a player.\u00a0 SLU has produced some cup-winning coaches and support staff:<\/p>\n

Other former Saint players who have been part of Stanley Cup Championship teams include Ron Waske, who was trainer, and Bill Torrey, who was general manager when the New York Islanders won four straight from 1980-83, Mike Keenan who coached the New York Rangers to the title in 1994 and Ray Shero, who is general manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins, 2009 Stanley Cup Champions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The North Country has had some up close contact with professional sports’ oldest trophy.\u00a0 In 2008, Ogdensburg’s Jimmy Howard brought the Cup home after being part of the championship Detroit Red Wings.\u00a0 Listen to this story about Howard’s visit to the high school<\/a>, and this one about the man who’s job it is<\/a> to be the Cup’s bodyguard.<\/p>\n

My favorite part about that visit: the Stanley Cup arrived in a convertible, strapped into the back seat with a seat belt.\u00a0 Safety first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
