Thanks to our alum, John McDonough ’75, the National Hockey League’s Stanley Cup championship trophy came to campus on Sept. 6, drawing a large and enthusiastic crowd from the Saint Mary’s and Winona communities. More than 1,000 people came to rally and to get their picture taken with the Cup and McDonough, President and CEO of the NHL champion Chicago Blackhawks.
The rally celebrated the achievement of the professional hockey team and its president, and recognized SMU hockey legends Bob Paradise ’66, Andre Beaulieu ’65, Terry Skrypek ’70 and former coach Don Olson. During a luncheon with business leaders, Mayor Mark Peterson proclaimed Sept. 6, 2013, as “John F. McDonough Day” in Winona. Our thanks go to John McDonough for sharing his championship spirit and inspiring leadership, and for sharing the Stanley Cup, an iconic symbol of excellence that brought positive visibility to his alma mater.
