Denver Muslims celebrate Kadri, the first Muslim to be on a Stanley Cup-winning team.
Nazem Kadri became the first Muslim to win the Stanley Cup when theon June 26, securing Colorado’s first major sports championship since the Broncos won Super Bowl 50 over six years ago.
“He’s a Muslim player who is in a sport that doesn't really have a lot of that, and it's not super-diverse,” Ally says. “It's pretty unusual, and it makes you feel like you could do something unusual like that in any type of field, whether it be sports or just work in general.” Their mother, Linda Amin Badwan, has always been a Colorado sports fan. After immigrating to Denver from Palestine when she was three, she was back in Palestine for fourth through six grades, then moved back to Denver permanently; her father raised her on the Broncos. She then went to, where the hockey team excelled during her time at the school, so she introduced her sons to the sport.
Jodeh attended the same mosque Badwan did when she was growing up. Born in Denver, Jodeh is the daughter of Palestinian parents who immigrated to the United States. Being the child of immigrants makes her particularly grateful for the opportunities she has; she notes that Kadri is another example of the intergenerational wins that come from the sacrifices parents make to immigrate. Kadri’s grandparents moved to Canada from Lebanon when his father was a child; Kadri was born and raised in Canada.
