Stanley's Case Maker

from David Gough of the Chatam Daily News,

A Wallaceburg carpenter has been entrusted to keep the Stanley Cup safe.

Paul Momney has the contract to build the case for the Stanley Cup—hockey's holy grail— and for all of the National Hockey League's 20 trophies.

Momney first caught the attention of the Hockey Hall of Fame officials on a trip to Tampa. The NHL was introducing the Maurice Richard Trophy to the league's top goalscorer a few years ago. The trophy was being shipped from Montreal in a wooden crate.

“I happened to be there, and was just lucky to be there and I built a case and had it ready in a couple days and ... that's how I met the Hall of Fame guys,” Momney said.

Later, the Hockey Hall of Fame contacted Momney about building cases for all their trophies. Momney is currently building all 20 cases.
