Hearing tom dundon is petitioning for his dog sparky to get his name on the Stanley Cup.
The team is internally debating between removing Frederik Andersen's name or Rod Brind'Amour's. Details to come.
None of Dundon's 5 kids (one being in kindergarten!) or his wife have any formal roles with the Carolina Hurricanes organization. They famously scratched off Peter Pocklington's dad Basil in 1983/84 for this very reason
A kindergartener on the Stanley Cup some straight bullshit
Revolting.
Tom Dundon had his wife and all five of his children engraved on the Stanley Cup. None hold an official role with the Hurricanes, and the youngest is just 7 years old.
Even more unbelievable, they're listed before the players.
The @NHL needs to fix this. The Stanley Cup should honor those who contributed to winning it, not for those who "supported" the team.
When the NHL puts out its annual sappy ad spot depicting how much courage and valour and hard work it takes to win the Cup, I hope that they also mention that you could either devote your entire life to winning the Cup...or you could be the middle-school child of a billionaire.
We all remember that incredible playoff run where the 7 Dundons scored in pivotal moments. Glad they’re memorialized here at the very top for all their contributions.
Dundon isn't the first to start sneaking family onto the list - it's been happening more and more the last few years and the NHL seemingly stopped pushing back - but two full lines including a straight up kindergartner is wild
