| - The Stanley Cup is a $50 upside-down silver bowl awarded annually to the champions of the National Hockey League. It was named after Stanley of Stanley Tools, who crafted the cup while marooned in Montreal in a sea of francophones. Conspiracy theorists, however, maintain that it was named after Stanley Cuprick due to his years of service as a Hockey Night in Canada cameraman. The Cup was first awarded in 1893 to the Montreal Eh? Eh? Eh? It became a tradition for the hockey players to etch all their names, along with the names of their lovers, inside little hearts on the side of the crystal (unfortunately, the 1895 Montreal Victorians' captain Oscar Wilde's etching "Oscar + Alfie" got him into some legal trouble). The Cup was inadvertently smashed when a member of the 1905 Ottawa Silverfish drop-kicked it onto the frozen Rideau Canal (he tried to explain to league authorities: "I didn't realize water froze in the cold"). Today, the NHL uses a replica of the cup, and the names of players' lovers are kept on a CD so they don't have to keep being re-etched every time the Cup gets smashed (it also prevents conflicts such as the numerous times the players have handed names to the engraver, only to find afterwards that some women were listed more than once). Today the cup is presented on the ice to the captain of the NHL champions. The captain lifts it above his head and kisses it repeatedly, then skates around the arena to the cheers of thousands. The players pass the cup amongst themselves, each in turn hoisting and kissing it. They then take it to the locker room, where it is filled with champaigne (though someone always spikes it with Saskatoonberry juice). And if you think all this kissing and cup-sharing is pretty gross, just consider that the Cup has several times been used as a urinal. The Most Lucrative Player in the payoffs is awarded the Conn Tract trophy. Winners have included Bobby Ore, Bob Net Gainy, Reggie Leech, Brian Leech, Brad Richer, and Steve Miserman. No one has won the award more often than Patrick Rrwwaugh. Today the Stanley Cup is kept at the Hockey Hall of Infamy in Toronto, Ontario. It can be viewed by the general public except when it is stolen for brief periods to film beer commercials. It also tours hometowns of each of the winning team's players. When asked what it was going to do following the 2007 championship won by the Disney-owned Anaheim Waddling Wimps, the Cup declared: "I'm gonna go to Disneyland!"

Professional teams then became eligible to challenge for the Stanley Cup in 1906. In 1915, the two professional ice hockey organizations, the National Hockey Association (NHA) and the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA), reached a gentlemen's agreement in which their respective champions would face each other annually for the Stanley Cup. After a series of league mergers and folds, it was established as the de facto championship trophy of the NHL in 1926 and then the de jure NHL championship prize in 1947. There are actually three Stanley Cups: the original bowl of the "Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup", the authenticated "Presentation Cup", and the "Replica Cup" on display at the Hockey Hall of Fame. The NHL has maintained effective control over both the trophy itself and its associated trademarks. Nevertheless, the NHL does not actually own the trophy, but instead uses it by agreement with the two Trustees of the Cup. The NHL has registered trademarks associated with the name and likeness of the Stanley Cup, although the league's right to outright own trademarks associated with a trophy it does not own has been disputed by some legal experts.[3] The original bowl was made of silver and is 18.5 centimetres (7.28 inches) in height and 29 centimetres (11.42 inches) in diameter. The current Stanley Cup, topped with a copy of the original bowl, is made of a silver and nickel alloy; it has a height of 89.54 centimetres (35.25 inches) and weighs 15.5 kilograms (34.5 lb / 2 st 6½ lb). Unlike the trophies awarded by the other major professional sports leagues of North America, a new Stanley Cup is not made each year; winners keep it until a new champion is crowned. It is unusual among trophies, in that it has the names of all of the winning players, coaches, management, and club staff engraved on its chalice. Initially, a new band added each year caused the trophy to grow in size, earning the nickname "Stovepipe Cup". In 1958 the modern one-piece Cup was designed with a five-band barrel which could contain 13 winning teams per band. To prevent the Stanley Cup from growing, when the bottom band is full, the oldest band is removed and preserved in the Hockey Hall of Fame, and a new blank band added to the bottom. It has been referred to as The Cup, Lord Stanley's Cup, The Holy Grail, or facetiously (chiefly by sportswriters) as Lord Stanley's Mug. The Stanley Cup is surrounded by numerous legends and traditions, the oldest of which is the celebratory drinking of champagne out of the cup by the winning team. Since the 1914–15 season, the Cup has been won a combined 100 times by 18 active NHL teams and five defunct teams. Prior to that, the challenge cup was held by nine different teams. The Montreal Canadiens have won the Cup a record 24 times and are the most recent Canadian-based team to win the cup, having won it in 1993. The Stanley Cup was not awarded in 1919 because of a Spanish flu epidemic, and in 2005, as a consequence of the 2004–05 NHL lockout.
- The Stanley Cup is the trophy awarded to the winning team of the National Hockey League. Hockey fans are known to proudly call it the hardest trophy to win in professional sports. While that claim is difficult to prove scientifically, given that the winning team generally has to play at least 98 hockey games (82 regular season and a minimum of 16 post-season games, assuming a full post-season sweep - which is highly unlikely), it's certainly not an easy trophy to win. The Cup itself is named for Lord Frederick Stanley, who was instrumental in organizing Canadian hockey, and has been through a lot of incredible stories, especially for a trophy. This is in no large part due to the unofficial tradition of each member of the winning team getting a day to spend with the trophy (most will simply take it to their hometown for photo-ops at local schools). It's shared a bed with countless players, been set on fire, gone clubbing with Mark Messier, been used to baptize infants, attended pool parties with the winning team (the trophy, it turns out, does not float), marched in a gay pride parade, and been lost on the side of the road. It was also attacked by Taliban grenades in 2007 while visiting Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan. The damage it's sustained is fairly significant; Multiple dings and dents from being kicked into a frozen river, bar-hopping with players, and incidents players are presumably too embarrassed to discuss with the press. Of note is, unlike other major sports trophies where a single trophy is given to the winning team permanently to flaunt around and display (good examples are the Lombardi Trophy of the Super Bowl and the Larry O'Brien Trophy of the NBA), there is only one Stanley Cup. Okay, technically there's three of them (see below), but the authenticated trophy is one-of-a-kind, passed down from champion to champion of each season (and gets bigger in the process, at least until 1991). While the Cup usually remains at the Hockey Hall of Fame unless it is being used for promotional purposes, it is handed to the winners at the deciding game. The Boston Bruins are the current Stanley Cup champions.

It is the only trophy in professional sports that has the name of the winning players, coaches, management, and club staff engraved on it. The Stanley Cup is the oldest professional sports trophy in North America. Originally inscribed the Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup, the trophy was donated by former Governor General of Canada Lord Stanley of Preston in 1892 as an award for Canada's top-ranking amateur ice hockey club. In 1915, the two professional ice hockey organizations, the National Hockey Association (NHA) and the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA), reached a gentlemen's agreement in which their respective champions would face each other for the Stanley Cup. After a series of league mergers and folds, it became the de facto championship trophy of the NHL in 1926. The Cup later became the de jure NHL championship prize in 1947.
