The last two times the Stanley Cup hit the streets of Boston, Bobby Orr and company displayed hockey's greatest prize from convertible Cadillacs.

Saturday morning, Zdeno Chara and the 2011 Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins will show off their new hardware from Boston's newer version of convertible Cadillacs — duck boats.

In what has become tradition since the 2002 Patriots Super Bowl victory, the Bruins will board duck boats at the Garden and travel through the city in a rolling rally that ends in Copley Square. Check the information from boston.com regarding travel to make sure you don't miss your chance to see Big Z, Tim Thomas, Patrice Bergeron and the rest of the B's celebrate the franchise's first Cup in 39 years.

Parking restrictions will be heavily enforced in the parade route area. Fans are strongly encouraged to use public transportation. Traffic will be banned in the area from 9 a.m.-1 p.m.

Temporary "Tow Zone No Stopping Boston Police Special Event Saturday" regulations will be posted all around the TD Garden area, on Tremont Street (from Cambridge to Boylston), and Boylston Street (from Washington to Dalton).

The MBTA will be adding extra subway, commuter rail, and bus service for Saturday’s parade, though a number of buses will be detoured.
