NHL Stanley Cup Finals 2010

Can college-age kids win a Stanley Cup? Apparently, yes. Led by youngsters Patrick Kane (21) and Captain Jonathan Toews (22), The Chicago Blackhawks ended a Cup-less streak that dated to 1961 by beating the Philadelphia Flyers in six games for the NHL championship. With contract extensions for the pair in hand, the potential for a hockey dynasty may have begun. ( 21 photos total)
