You are correct Mr. Squirrel. And right on time . Playoffs start tonight.
It is the oldest existing trophy to be awarded to a professional sports franchise. And named after an English chap, one Lord Stanley of Preston who donated it as a challenge cup for Canada's best amateur hockey club, but in 1909, it became contested by professional teams exclusively. There are 3,177 names engraved on it but not all are on the cup used for display and awarded to the champions. Every 13 years one of the bands is removed to make way for new names. That band is then stored in a vault at the Hockey Hall Of Fame along with the original cup.
Over to you Sir.
