Do you look like the Keeper of the Stanley Cup? Prove it at the Hockey Hall of Fame this weekend
If you've always wanted to get a picture with the Stanley Cup, the Hockey Hall of Fame is calling on all Phil Pritchard look-alikes for a unique photo opportunity on Saturday, April 26.
Phil Pritchard, who is famously known as the 'Keeper of the Cup', has been taking care of and presenting the Stanley Cup to NHL champions since 1994, and if you've ever thought 'I look like this guy' and 'I can do this too,' the opportunity has arrived.

The National Hockey League and the Hockey Hall of Fame have teamed up to host the very first
Stanley Cup KeeperCon
on Saturday, April 26 between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m.
Fans are invited to dress up as Pritchard, who is recognized for his sharp suits, straight blond hair, and white gloves.
'Grab your blond wigs, white gloves and best blazer,' a
Hockey Hall of Fame news release
reads.
YouTube personality Austen Alexander will host the event, and participants are asked to bring their best 'trophy presentation', with the look-alike who receives the loudest cheer from the crowd being crowned as the official Stanley Cup KeeperCon Lookalike.

Contest participants will each have the opportunity to take a photograph with Phil Pritchard himself and the iconic Stanley Cup, so even if you aren't the winner of the day, you'll have the chance to capture a lifelong memory.
The Stanley Cup KeeperCon will take place in front of the Hockey Hall of Fame's Spirit of Hockey retail store, which is located at 10 Front St. W. at street level.
