They did it! Cup coming to Chicago Pride

[invncble]

As reported in the Chicago Sun-Times, Brent Sopel (to the right) and the Stanley Cup (thanks to Blackhawks President John McDonough) will be joining the Chicago Gay Hockey Association in the Chicago Pride Parade this weekend!

Sopel is also marching in honor of Brendan Burke, the team manager for the Miami-Ohio hockey team and the son of Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke who was killed in a car accident two months after coming out publicly on ESPN.com late last year.

Even though, I'm missing AC, being part of this is an acceptable alternative. :)

I had forgotten that Burke and Sopel were together in Vancouver. Clearly while in the press Burke may tend to irk people, he's still valued/respected by the people that work for him to honor such a connection this way.
