| The Stanley Cup is awarded
each season of NHL play to the winner of the NHL
Playoffs. There have only been two years since 1894 that
the Stanley Cup was not awarded. Outbreaks of Spanish
influenza in 1919, which lead to a cancellation of the
NHL Playoffs, and the NHL lockout during the 2004-05
season are the only seasons thus far to not have a
Stanley Cup winner. The Montreal Canadiens lead all
teams in the NHL with 24 Stanley Cup victories and the
Detroit Red Wings have the most wins of any North
American team with 10. |
| The Stanley Cup is one of
the most unique trophies in all of professional sports.
Not only is it the oldest of all trophies, but members
of the Stanley Cup-winning team each have their name
engraved in the trophy. Beginning in 1995, members of
the winning team have been allowed to have the Stanley
Cup for a day and take it wherever they want. The
Stanley Cup has traveled over 400,000 miles in the past
five years alone. Only the best of the NHL will ever get
to play in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, let alone win the
Stanley Cup. Hockey fans won't want to miss their chance
to see some of the best hockey games and hockey players
the NHL has to offer! Get your Stanley Cup Playoff
tickets before it's too late! |
