(Frank Gunn/Canadian Press) The Canada Day parade in Windsor, Ont., on Thursday will include two shining guests bound to draw crowds from across the city, and even over the Canada-U.S. border.
Professional hockey's top prize, the Stanley Cup, and Canadian hockey's top prize, the Memorial Cup, will both be part of the July 1 celebrations in the border city.
The Stanley Cup will be brought to the party by hometown boy Joel Quenneville, coach of the current Stanley Cup champions, the Chicago Blackhawks.
Quenneville, who was born and raised in Windsor, is the former coach of Canada's hottest junior hockey team, the Windsor Spitfires.
The Spitfires won their second straight Memorial Cup in Brandon, Man., in May.
Organizers said they believe Thursday's parade will be the first time two of the most coveted trophies in winter sports will be showcased together.
The Canada Day parade is taking a new route for 2010, beginning at 11 a.m. at Wyandotte Street East between Glengarry Avenue and Devonshire Road.
