Whole families sit cheering in front of their television sets, encouraging their idols.
In the stadiums, where the gods of the ice bravely forge their legends, the atmosphere is quite simply euphoric. Many aspire to the Hockey Hall of Fame, but few are called. When exceptional players emerge, myths are created and enriched over the generations. The passion for hockey is the passion for victory. And the ultimate victory is symbolized by a single silver bowl known as the Stanley Cup.
