This would be the absolute greatest thing to happen in pro sports since racial integration.

"The fact that the NHL has suspended its play this year doesn't mean that Canadians and others don't have the right to compete for the Stanley Cup," said Tim Gilbert, the groups' lawyer.

Gilbert said Lord Stanley's intention when he donated the Stanley Cup was to have teams compete for the trophy every year, and a labor dispute shouldn't prevent that from happening.

He hopes the court will force Stanley Cup trustees Brian O'Neill and Ian Morrison to find teams to compete for the Cup.
How awesome would it be if some amateurs got to win the Stanley Cup and have their team engraved on it.

What a slap in the face to greedy players and owners.

I wonder if there is any chance of this actually happening.
