What hockey teams that have won the Stanley cup?
The Stanley Cup was first awarded decades before the NHL was created. They awarded the cup differently then. From 1892 until 1914 they did not have a round robin playoff series like they do now. The winners of series could challenge each other for the Cup. Some challenges were played in the middle of the season as long as it was approved by the Stanley Cup trustees. Therefore, there was usually more than one challenge in a season, which in turn means the Cup was awarded more than once in a season.
