Nathan MacKinnon brings Stanley Cup home to Halifax

Cole Harbour hockey superstar Nathan MacKinnon finally brought the Stanley Cup to downtown Halifax on Saturday.

It’s something fans have been waiting for since the Colorado Avalanche’s victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning during the Stanley Cup final in June. Fans from as far as the Northwest Territories and Colorado made their way to Halifax to see the cup parade.

The day started off on Citadel Hill, where McKinnon fired the cannon at noon – something that’s usually done each day by staff at the historic site. He was then greeted by thousands of people who had lined up on the hill and nearby streets.

MacKinnon rode in a red naval fire vehicle, along with his parents and a few teammates, including Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog. Amber Fryday reports on the momentous occasion.
