The Spirit of Stanley! - Friday, November 30th, 2007
'Stanley' is a gift to hockey in Alberta in celebration of Hockey Alberta's 100th Anniversary and United Cycle's 80th Anniversary.
Our 'Stanley' is one of a kind - a snapshot of hockey excellence, featuring the cup winning teams since 1892. It captures hockey in the heartland with complete team rosters from Alberta's first year in the NHL (1979/80) to 2006/07
Two local businesses, United Cycle and IMARK Metal Fabricators, shared a vision and passion for the idea of bringing 'Stanley' to life. Through the involvement of their additional partners, the Edmonton Oilers and the City of Edmonton, this gift can be shared with hockey fans and visitors to our city for years to come.
United Cycle is also proud to salute The Brick Sport Central and Alberta's Promise for helping ensure all children have the opportunity to chase their dreams.
