Who did Gretzky hand Stanley Cup to?

Today’s question: On May 31, 1987, Wayne Gretzky, captain of the Edmonton Oilers, was handed the Stanley Cup after winning Game 7 3-1 against the Philadelphia Flyers. This was Edmonton’s third title in four years. Gretzky then made a tremendous gesture by handing the Stanley Cup directly to which player?

Yesterday’s question and answer: One team was banned from participating in the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup despite being ranked eighth in the world. What nation couldn’t participate because some of their players had tested positive for performance enhancing drugs at the 2011 tournament? The answer is North Korea. Upon investigation it was found that at least five players from North Korea utilized performance enhancing drugs at the 2011 Women's World Cup. In addition to being banned from the 2015 tournament the team was also fined $400,000. Through the first seven World Cup tournaments North Korea had only made it past the Group Stage once but the team did win the AFC Asian Cup in 2001, 2003, and 2008.
