| The World Famous Cardinal Richelieu Cup |
The Cup was brought to the arena by Steve Freese, who had taken the Cup on tour to Las Vegas last year as a member of the champion Gold Weasels. Freese located the cup following a nationwide search and returned it to league custody in a triumphal ceremony before game time this morning to share with his teammates now in Blue.
Clearly the reflected glory of the refulgent relic energized the Blue squad as it took the contest in hand early and never faded despite aggressive attacking hockey by Yellow.
Richelieu Cup play resumed Monday but unaccountably the Cup was not delivered until today. It will be rinkside for Monday's game two of the series. Game one resulted in an 8-8 draw that is still under investigation.
The Cup shows evidence of slight damage at the base that has been repaired with an unknown substance. The matter will be turned over to the French splinter group of religious monks that has had custody of the Cup since the death of Cardinal Richelieu himself, who was an ardent fan of ice hockey.
Precautions were taken to keep the Famed Flagon well out of the reach of goal keeper Jim "Red Light" Secunde, who is still under a $1Bfine for his desecration of the ewer last year.
