Tomas Tatar is already feeling the heat to win a Stanley Cup at 24 years old andfewer than 200 games into his NHL career.

Tatar's blessing and curse is that he originates from the Trencin region, cheap marian hossa jerseys a small area in northwestern Slovakia where NHL players might as well be considered an export. The town of Dubnica has delivered Tatar and Tomas cheap marian hossa caps Kopecky to the NHL in recent years, and nearby Trencin is the hometown of Zdeno Chara, Marian Gaborik and Marian Hossa. The two towns' combined population is less than 100,000.

But not only does the Trencin region produce NHL players, it produces winning ones: Chara, Gaborik, Hossa and Kopecky have seven Stanley Cup championship rings between them. The visit by the Cup has become such a frequent event that people have come to expect its annual arrival, which is where the pressure on Tatar comes in.

"I'm getting questions like, 'When are you going to bring it?'" said Tatar, a Detroit Red Wings winger, while seated in the patio area of Hossa's 81 Sport Bar in Trencin on Friday afternoon. "I think it's crazy because people here don't realize how hard it is, and just the fact the Cup was here so many wholesale marian hossa socks times makes it something wonderful. I'm not sure if any city in the world wholesale marian hossa jerseys did this. It's amazing. It's fun to be around with these guys."

The Stanley Cup's first appearance in the region came when Kopecky won it with the Red Wings in 2008. Hossa and Kopecky cheap blackhawks marian hossa jerseys won it as teammates with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2010, Chara with the Boston Bruins in 2011, Hossa with the Blackhawks in 2013 and Gaborik with the Los Angeles Kings in 2014.

The Stanley Cup and its keepers journeyed back to Trencin this past week as Hossa was given two days with it to celebrate the Blackhawks' championship.

"It's pretty unique," said Hockey Hall of Fame's Howie Borrow, who is one of the Cup's keepers. "Every time you think of going to certain places, you might think of Canada with a ton of players being from Ontario or somewhere out west. But you think of the city of Trencin, yeah, it's been here a number of times in a row. It's pretty amazing."

There was a time when the Stanley Cup wasn't making stops in the region, and that's something the players haven't forgotten either.

"Years back before the first Cup came here, we talked about how much bad luck we had because we had so many NHL guys from cheap marian hossa t-shirt our town, so many players in the league and never got the Cup," said former NHL player Richard Lintner, who is also from Trencin. "Then, we broke it at one point and ever since then we've had the Cup here almost every year. I cheap marian hossa jerseys china think it's incredible such a small town like Trencin is being so fortunate to have it so often. It's pretty cool."
