“I’ve been waiting my whole life for this,” Kadri told CityNews on Friday. “Anytime you’re the first to do something is a big deal, so I’m just very honoured and privileged that I got to be that person.”
“In London, it’s very tight knit and anytime you get an opportunity to unite another family and do something of this magnitude to bring it to the mosque is a privilege for me,” said Kadri.
Information reads: "Nazem Kadri brings the Stanley Cup to the London Muslim Mosque.
This is believed to be the first time in history that the Cup has entered a mosque. @HkyNightPunjabi @NHL @Sportsnet."
Reactions from Muslim community in Canada:
Faizal: A Muslim NHL player took the Stanley Cup to a mosque in his hometown. It’s one of the most beautiful hockey scenes I’ve ever seen. Growing up playing, it felt impossible to visualize a moment like this and Nazem Kadri made it happen. A cultural moment in a sport that lacks them.
Mihlali: Nazem Kadri brought the Stanley Cup to a mosque in London, Ontario today a little over a year after a Muslim family was killed in a hate attack in the same city.
A truly extraordinary moment for the sport & the country.
