Lord StanleyWinning the Stanley Cup

It's for the Stanley Cup that the players fight, season after season. And it's of the Stanley Cup that all hockey players dream, from childhood onwards. The Cup, symbol of excellence in the world of hockey, owes its name to Lord Stanley of Preston, Governor General of Canada. In 1892, he bought a small gold-plated silver bowl from a London silversmith, for $50. The bowl was awarded to the best hockey team in Canada.

Today, the original trophy is a museum exhibit, but every year its replica is awarded to the best professional team in the league. Today, it bears the names of the privileged few who have realized their greatest dream. Some outstanding players have held this coveted prize more than once, while others, equally talented, have never won it.

The Stanley Cup is more than 100 years old, and despite the great moments of glory it provides for the winners, and despite their pride in raising it triumphantly above their heads, some players have had embarrasing experiences with this prestigious trophy. The following pages contain some amusing anecdotes.
