You incorrectly note that the Pittsburgh Penguins were the first to do this, in 1991. In fact it was the 1983 New York Islanders who did this first. They were invited by sitting President Ronald Reagan after winning their fourth Cup in a row and becoming the greatest American based NHL dynasty. The team met the President and presented him with a goalie stick that said "the puck stops here" on the blade. You can easily see evidence of this visit by looking at the cover of the 1983-84 New York Islanders Media Guide. The cover features the event with Ronald Reagan greeting Islanders John Tonelli, Bryan Trottier, Billy Smith and captain Denis Potvin. <br />Keep up the fine work. Pucknoreply@blogger.com
