A Muslim NHL player took the Stanley Cup to a mosque in his hometown. It’s one of the most beautiful hockey scenes I’ve ever seen. Growing up playing, it felt impossible to visualize a moment like this and Nazem Kadri made it happen. A cultural moment in a sport that lacks them.
Nazem Kadri brings the Stanley Cup to the London Muslim Mosque. This is believed to be the first time in history that the Cup has entered a mosque. @HkyNightPunjabi @NHL @Sportsnet
