COLLEY Staff Reporter Hundreds of North Deltans lined the streets between the North Delta Rec Centre and Sungod Arena Thursday afternoon to offer an enthusiastic welcome to Lord Stanley’s Cup and local NHL hero, Troy Brouwer, a winger with this year’s Stanley Cup winners, the Chicago Blackhawks.

Aidan Cook, 8, found a shady spot on the grass along the driveway outside the arena. He sat patiently with his mom and Dylan Bondy, 10, waiting for the famous pair to arrive. “I know a lot about hockey,” Dylan said before launching into a complex explanation of what a player has to do to get his name inscribed on the trophy.

Not to be outdone, Aidan offered some Stanley Cup lore of his own. “I know something about the Stanley Cup,” the little guy said, looking up from his seat on the lawn, his face wreathed in a huge grin. “Sometimes, when you win it, you can drink champagne out of it.”

Child-proof locks, heat not good combination SURREY – A little girl was rescued by Surrey firefighters Wednesday morning in Cloverdale after she somehow managed to lock herself inside her mom’s SUV. The incident happened at about 10:30, in the area of 166th Street and 57th Avenue. The two-year-old girl’s mom parked the SUV, unbuckled the child from her car seat and stepped out of her door, with the keys still in the ignition. In the time that she closed the driver’s door and walked around to the other side of the vehicle to let her daughter out through the sliding door, the child had got hold of the key fob and automatically locked all the doors. After 10 frantic minutes of trying to free her child, and with the hot sun climbing in the sky, the mother called 911 and police soon arrived. A Mountie smashed one of the windows, but was unable to defeat the door’s childproof lock. Surrey firefighters then used a long rod to reach inside the SUV and unlock one of the doors. The child was fine, albeit warm. – Tom Zytaruk
