Tales of the Stanley Cup’s odd journeys are plentiful, but we’ll probably never know how deep into debauchery the Holy Grail has descended during its travels.
But we do know Mark Messier took the Cup to a strip club. At least twice.
In 1987 with the Edmonton Oilers, Messier allegedly brought the chalice to The Forum Inn in Edmonton, placed it on stage and it was used as a prop by the talent.
In 1994, Messier and the New York Rangers brought the Cup to SCORES, a hugely popular (at the time) gentleman’s club in Manhattan.
