A baby broke the record for youngest human to ever be put in the Stanley Cup

Share

Important things going on in the world of hockey these days: 

Why are we telling you this? Because the previous record holder was then-baby Blackhawks fan Elena Ruth Knickerbocker, who was a whopping 97 minutes old at the time. The Blues-Hawks rivalry lives on! 

A couple things here: 

1. Blues fans are just chilling with the Stanley Cup already? What? I can't keep track of all the different Cup superstitions but it feels like throwin' the kid in there while it's a 2-2 series isn't ideal?

2. It's just totally cool to put a baby in a trophy after literally 20 minutes of being alive? I need answers. 

To her credit, ex-record holder Elana Kickerbocker took the L with dignity. 

“Yes I know the story!," she said. "When I was ‘star of the week,’ at school, I said a few brief words about it and then I moved on to something else. “

No official statement from this new baby yet. Expect an official comment from her in rougly 2-3 years.
