Prior to Tuesday’s boisterous gathering, Kunitz paid a visit of a much more private nature when he delivered the Cup to his ailing grandmother.

Although “Grandma Minnie” may not have understood what all the fuss was about, it was an emotional moment for Chris.

“My grandma is not doing the best anymore,” he explained. “She has moved a few times to different locations. We got to take the Cup over to her. All the memories that I have of her (made it special). To watch her drink some water out of the Cup today is something I don’t think I’ll ever, ever forget.”

Kunitz showed off Lord Stanley in Regina's City Square Plaza. He also teamed up with Saskatchewan Cancer Agency to raise money for the Allen Blair Cancer Centre from the proceeds raised with the sale of special edition photos autographed by Kunitz.

[...]

When Kunitz arrived to see the crowds of hockey fans in downtown Regina, he said "I don't have this many friends or family so it's a great turnout."
