Petr
Sykora and Patrik Elias, New Jersey Devils
One of the coolest things about the NHL is that the
Stanley Cup is made available to players and coaches of the
winning team to haul around during the offseason. That's why
the Cup one year wound up being found in the gutter after its
protectors went on an all-night binge. Sykora, left, and Elias
took the Cup back this week to their native Prague.

Rugby is not very popular in the U.S., but it's a national

Australia Wallabies met the New Zealand All-Blacks on Saturday
