from the Winnipeg Free Press,
Meech quietly took the Stanley Cup to Children’s Hospital early Sunday afternoon, where he spent two hours with kids facing far greater challenges than the Pittsburgh Penguins.
“My mom passed away when I was 11, of cancer,” Meech said.
“A lot of these kids were pretty sick. It definitely brought some smiles,” he said later as he signed photos and jerseys and kept a steady grin through hundreds of photos of kids and parents and the cup.
It was Meech’s idea to go to Children’s Hospital, said proud dad Dennis Meech. “He wanted to remember his mom, in tribute to her.”
