Stanley Cup

The Stanley Cup is unique because it is the only trophy in professional sports that is awarded to a team and features the names of all players, coaches, and staff who contributed to the championship. Unlike other trophies, it is not replaced each year; rather, the Cup itself evolves as it is continuously engraved with the names of the winning teams. Additionally, the Cup is celebrated with a tradition where players take it to their hometowns for personal celebrations, adding to its rich history and significance in the sport of hockey.

No, Stanley Ketchel and Ernest Ball never fought each other. Stanley Ketchel was a renowned middleweight boxing champion in the early 20th century, while Ernest Ball was primarily known as a composer and musician, not a professional boxer. Their paths did not intersect in the world of boxing or sports.

The last team to win the Stanley Cup as an eighth seed was the Los Angeles Kings in 2012. They made an impressive playoff run, defeating higher-seeded teams, including the Vancouver Canucks, St. Louis Blues, and Phoenix Coyotes, before ultimately winning the championship against the New Jersey Devils. This victory marked a historic moment in NHL history, showcasing the unpredictability of the playoffs.

Henry Morton Stanley's last words were reportedly "Doctor Livingstone, I presume?" although they are more famously associated with his meeting with David Livingstone in 1871. In his final moments, he was said to have uttered a prayer, reflecting his faith and possibly his thoughts on his life’s journey. Stanley passed away on May 10, 1904, in London, and his last words have become somewhat mythologized over the years.

As of October 2023, several current NHL players have won more than one Stanley Cup, including Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang of the Pittsburgh Penguins, who have each won three Cups. Additionally, players like Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews of the Chicago Blackhawks have also won three Stanley Cups. Other notable multi-Cup winners still active include Alex Ovechkin, who has one Cup but is often mentioned in discussions of greats alongside those with multiple championships.

depends who autographed it

The price varies on the grading of the card. At a recent auction a Orr rookie at a PSA 9 sold for $50,000. But the most common grade for Orr rookies is between a 5 and 7. I recently sold my PSA 6 for $2000. I could have grabbed more but it was not graded. The MOST important thing in order to get higher bids is get i graded, most prefer PSA. I hope I helped you out.

When the Stanley Cup Finals were on, several commentators and players were referring to the Cup as 36 pounds of silver. According to a Wikipedia page, it's made of silver and nickel alloy and only weighs 34 1/2 pounds.

It depends on if you're asking which is better for the fans, or better for the team that wins. A Stanley cup final that goes seven games will be much more exciting for the fans because the final game 7 is the biggest do or die situation of most of the players lives. It also might be better for the team that wins that final game because if they win in 7 games it means they had to fight hard for the championship and therefore might have a greater sense of accomplishment. However, if a team wins the final in four games, it means that they are far superior to the other team and that could be considered as better.

Originally inscribed the Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup, the trophy was donated in 1892 by then Governor General of Canada Lord Stanley of Preston, 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.
