Hockey Hall of Fame: Babchuk took a bite from the loaf for luck, then placed the Stanley Cup in a Cadillac convertible, while he boarded a limousine following behind. A crush of public mobbed the automobiles as they drove through Kiev on their way to a hockey complex. Waiting there was a mob of fans, anxious to see the Stanley Cup and their local hero. More press also waited for Babchuk and the Stanley Cup. «I wish hockey was as popular as soccer in Ukraine," he told those in attendance. «If it was, I gladly would have played for a team in Kiev.» The crowd roared at the possibility.
