CALAHOO – The Stanley Cup has arrived in small-town Alberta.

Craig Berube, head coach of the St. Louis Blues, hoisted the trophy over his head as he carried it into the arena in Calahoo, northwest of Edmonton.

Berube was born and raised in the hamlet of about 80 people, where his parents Roger and Ramona Berube still live.

Hundreds of hockey fans lined up to meet the coach and get a photo with the Cup.

Berube, 53, played with several teams in the National Hockey League before taking over as coach of the Blues last year.

The Blues beat the Boston Bruins in Game 7 of the championship to win their first Stanley Cup title.
