Description
If hockey fans could lift a three-year-old child over our head, we might have some idea of the weight that Danny Cleary held aloft in triumph on the night of June 6, 2008, in Pittsburgh. His team, the Detroit Red Wings, had defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-2 to take the best-of-seven final in six games. And Danny Cleary had just become the first person from Newfoundland and Labrador to play for, and win, the coveted Stanley Cup. This is his remarkable story as told to St. John's sports reporter Brendan McCarthy.
