A hockey fan from Guelph says that Brandon did a wonderful job organizing and putting on the Memorial Cup. But has anyone seen his cowbell?
In a letter to the Brandon Sun, Tim Kingsbury writes that this year’s tournament was the 28th Memorial Cup that he has attended — and he ranks it in the top three of all time.
Travelling with a group of about a dozen, Kingsbury wrote that the entire city should be proud of itself for a wonderful job.
"Sadly our only sour note (beyond the score of the last game), was at the semifinal game," he wrote in the letter. "We left a cow bell behind. At the final it was not turned in to the lost and found."
He describes the cowbell as about 10 inches high, leather strap, red with a Guelph Storm logo on it and the name "Daniel" hand-painted on the inside of it.
"This one has a great personal and family meaning," Kingsbury wrote. "My father (who passed away in January) had taken this cow bell to the 1952 Memorial Cup. He had given it to my son to carry on the family tradition. Daniel has taken it to each Memorial Cup since, starting in Kelowna …. Obviously my son is crushed that it got left behind."
Kingsbury is offering a $100 reward for the cowbell’s return. He can be reached at fargopickupking@yahoo.com.
