Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
The Stanley Cup is the most traveled trophy in all of sports with it being on the road 250 days a year. That being said, its more amazing that mistakes like this don't happen more often:
A new employee, believing he was doing a favour, accidently shipped the Stanley Cup directly from Newark, N.J., back to its home in Toronto on Sunday.
The intended destination was a charity event in Vancouver.
Essentially, Air Canada lost this guy's baggage which unfortunately for them was the Cup. Air Canada rectified the situation and sent the Cup back to Vancouver but not after causing many, many headaches.
