Ex-Blackhawks star Byfuglien takes Cup to Roseau

Former Chicago Blackhawks star Dustin Byufglien (BUFF'-lihn) is bringing the silver trophy to his up-north hometown of Roseau. There's a parade in town scheduled for Sunday afternoon, with a photo and autograph session set for the arena afterward.

NHL tradition holds that each player gets to spend one day with the Cup the summer after winning it, and Byfuglien chose to bring it to the city where he grew up and learned to play the sport.

Byfuglien was one of the stars of Chicago's championship team this year. The Blackhawks beat the Philadelphia Flyers for their first Stanley Cup victory since 1961. Byfuglien was since traded to the Atlanta Thrashers.
