Editor’s Note: A statement released by Jonas Roberts Memorial Community Centre Director of Sports and Recreation Kevin Roberts on Thursday clarifies a replica NHL Stanley Cup will be touring Lac La Ronge Indian Band communities as originally planned.

There is some disappointing news for hockey fans.

The Stanley Cup will not be making an appearance in La Ronge or other nearby communities after all.

That’s according to an NHL communications spokesperson who reached out to larongeNOW about the matter.

It was earlier reported that hockey’s ultimate prize was supposed to appear in communities including Grandmother’s Bay, Hall Lake, Little Red, La Ronge and Stanley Mission.
