London, Ont., is gearing up to be the latest stop on the Colorado Avalanche’s winning tour as Londoner Nazem Kadri brings the Stanley Cup to the Forest City on Saturday.
Believed to be for the first time ever, Kadri will hoist the cup once more during a parade on Saturday morning set to kick off with speeches by community leaders Munir El-Kassem and Faisal Joseph in front of the London Muslim Mosque.
“I’m pretty excited, actually, not just for the Kadri family, but I’m excited for the community because we’ve been blessed with so many supporters,” said Kadri’s mother, Sue Kadri. “This is why we are wanting to celebrate with everybody.”
Kadri won the cup in Colorado’s victory against the Tampa Bay Lightning, becoming the first Muslim player in the league to be crowned an NHL champion.
“My husband and I always say even when Nazem stepped on the ice, you know, after his 12-year career it’s almost like he’s stepping on the ice for the first time,” his mother said. “So finally winning the Stanley Cup, what a dream for him and for all of us as well as the community.”
