"That's what everyone wants to know," says Ashley Bickell. "And all we can say right now is that we don't know." Ashley is the natural person in town to ask. And she says everyone is asking her the same question. Will brother Bryan really be able to bring the Cup to Orono, and if so, when? Ashley is the sister of Bryan Bickell, an Orono native drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. He was called up from the American Hockey League's Rockford IceHogs to play for the Hawks on an "as needed" basis during the team's playoff run up to becoming the 2010 Stanley Cup Champions. In an earlier interview with the Orono Times, when the Hawks were in San Jose for the semi-final round of the playoffs, Bickell promised he would bring the Cup to Orono if the Hawks made it to the finals and won. He also promised his father, Bill, that if the team made it to the finals, he would bring the whole family to see one of the games. And, according to Ashley, Bryan made good on that promise, bringing her, their father, and their mother, Ann, to see the first two games of the Finals in Chicago. The Blackhawks won those first two home games against the Philadelphia Flyers, 6-5 and 2-1. But the Flyers battled back to take the next two games 4-3 (in overtime) and 53. Then Chicago took the next game 7-4, and - tasting victory - clinched it in Philadelphia in game six, with a score of 4-3, scoring the game-winning goal in overtime. Now, as the Cup is about to make its traditional summer journey from one Stanley Cup Champion's hometown to the next, everyone here in Bickell's hometown is wondering if it will really come to Orono. According to Ashley, there is no rule or requirement that a player must fulfill in order to be able to take the C u p home for a visit.
