STANLEY CUP JOURNAL
BRAD STUART
Kevin Shea writes on HHOF.COM, "Rocky Mountain House is a small but beautiful town in west-central Alberta. The historic spot served as an important trading post during Canada's rugged and rustic early development, and when a transcontinental railway was built in the late-19th century, the steam engines stopped at Rocky Mountain House on their trips further west. While Brad Stuart made the two-and-a-half hour drive from Calgary to Rocky Mountain House, he had arranged for the helicopter to make a scheduled stop at Upper Ram Falls, a stunning locale nestled in a canyon in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. It's a spot that time seemingly has forgotten — beautiful and virtually untouched. The helicopter dropped down vertically onto a ledge near the Falls, and with the Stanley Cup in tow, looked out over a rainbow."
