Hockey fans in Nunavut came out to take a photo with the NHL's top prize this week as the Stanley Cup made its way through several communities in the territory.
The Stanley Cup began its second tour of the territory in two years Wednesday in Iqaluit. It also made stops in Cape Dorset, Kugaaruk, Taloyoak, Gjoa Haven, Resolute and Qikiqtarjuaq.
It toured the territory as part of Project North, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of children in Canada's North.
