DUNNVILLE, Ontario — The Stanley Cup finally arrived in Canada, just a few hours late.
Nathan Horton's day with the trophy was shortened when it was caught up in a flight delay.
Tammy Plante-Horton, wife of the Boston Bruins forward, tweeted that the Cup was lost in Boston before it was to cross into Canada.
It finally arrived around 2:30 in the afternoon, after many of those who turned out to see it had left.
"I was a little disappointed about not seeing the Cup because that was the main reason why I wanted to go, because I haven't seen it yet," said Caledonia resident Amber Eyre, who drove down to see the Cup but left at around 1:30 p.m. before it arrived.
She's also a fan of the Vancouver Canucks, the team Horton's Bruins beat in the Stanley Cup Final. The loss gave her added incentive to go to Sunday's event.
"Being so close to almost getting the cup and then not — I just wanted to see it."
