from the Toronto Star,
One team, 18 Stanley Cups.
The Don Mills Flyers, a very unusual minor atom hockey team of 8- and 9-year-old boys, can trace their ties to all 18 cups through family connections.
There’s Blake. His dad, Paul Coffey, is the assistant coach for the minor AAA team and a four-time Stanley Cup winner with the Edmonton Oilers.
Over there is George; his granddad is Red Kelly, who won eight Cups with Detroit and Toronto. Then there’s Tyson, son of Doug Gilmour, a Cup winner with the Calgary Flames. And Callum; his great uncle Carl Brewer captured three Cups with the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 1960s. And don’t forget James, great nephew of former Boston Bruin Don Awrey, whose name is inscribed on Lord Stanley’s mug twice.
