Stanley Cup + Baby Poop = Hilarity!

When your team wins the NHL Championship, you win the Stanley Cup, North American sports oldest and most famous trophy. You get to hold it and you are photographed with it, a moment that all hockey players surely dream of. And as you might guess, when you give a historic and world famous trophy to some (soon to be) drunken dude from Moose Jaw with six teeth, hilarity ensues.

Back in the Cup’s (relative) infancy, less care was given to protecting the cup than is the case today. For example, the Cup has been urinated on, kicked into the Rideau Canal in Ottawa, left on the side of the road, and scratched with a nail by toddlers (no, not Matthew Barnaby).

In more recent years, it has been dropped in a bonfire, urinated on (again), tossed into multiple swimming pools, kissed, used as a pint glass, a horse trough, and a popcorn box, and licked by Hayden Panettiere. (See? Life as the Stanley Cup ain’t that bad.)

Despite this lengthy list of what might be considered Cup Malpractice, in 1995 a new tradition was begun: Hosting the trophy for a day. Each member of the winning team gets to do this. The player takes the Cup back to his house, and carries it around with them during the day. This has, of course, lead to numerous other mishaps.

Which brings us to Chris Draper of the World Champion Detroit Red Wings. Draper apparently thought it would be fun to bathe his infant daughter, Kamryn, in the Cup.

"A week after we won it, I had my newborn daughter in there and she pooped in the Cup," said Draper. "That was something. We had a pretty good laugh.

"It was, well, clean it out. I still drank out of it that night, so no worries."

This is going to make the traditional post-win champagne drinking kind of gross.
