Scuderi's day with the Cup
As part of its recap of the first day of the Team USA Olympic camp, ESPN.com looked at Rob Scuderi's day with the Stanley Cup, which he took on July 17. The website said ``Scuderi's father is a retired police officer, so the Cup made a visit to a local police station. His mother is a high school teacher on Long Island, so Lord Stanley made a visit to her school. Scuderi, a native of Long Island, also took the Cup to the rink where he played minor hockey growing up.''
Scuderi is one of four Kings -- along with Dustin Brown, Jack Johnson and Jonathan Quick -- participating in the orientation camp this week in Woodridge, Ill.
