The Story-In 1892, the GovernorGeneral of Canada, LordStanley, donated a silver bowl for the purpose of fostering a competitivespirit between Canada\'samateur hockey teams. From this expression of support sprung a rich legacy, asthe Stanley Cup evolved into one of the most revered trophy in professionalsports - and a celebrated icon in Canada. The Royal Canadian Mint is proud tocommemorate the 125th Anniversary of the Stanley Cup\'s origins, with aone-of-a-kind shaped coin that pays tribute to hockey\'s ultimate prize.

The Stanley Cup is thechampionship trophy awarded annually to the National Hockey League (NHL)playoff winner. It is the oldest existing trophy to be awarded to aprofessional sports franchise, and the International Ice Hockey Federation(IIHF) considers it to be one of the \"most important championshipsavailable to the sport\". Originally commissioned in 1892 as the DominionHockey Challenge Cup, the trophy is named after Lord Stanley of Preston, then-GovernorGeneral of Canada, whodonated it as an award to Canada\'stop-ranking amateur ice hockey club, which the entire Stanley family supported, with the sons anddaughters playing and promoting the game. The first Cup was awarded in 1893 toMontreal HC, and subsequent winners from 1893 to 1914 were determined bychallenge games and league play. Professional teams first became eligible tochallenge for the Stanley Cup in 1906. In 1915, the two professional ice hockeyorganizations, the National Hockey Association (NHA) and the Pacific CoastHockey Association (PCHA), reached a gentlemen\'s agreement in which theirrespective champions would face each other annually for the Stanley Cup. Aftera series of league mergers and folds, it was established as the de factochampionship trophy of the NHL in 1926 and then the de jure NHL championshipprize in 1947.

There are actually threeStanley Cups: the original bowl of the \"Dominion Hockey ChallengeCup\", the authenticated \"Presentation Cup\", and the\"Replica Cup\" on display at the Hockey Hall of Fame. The NHL hasmaintained effective control over both the trophy itself and its associatedtrademarks. Nevertheless, the NHL does not actually own the trophy, but insteaduses it by agreement with the two Canadian Trustees of the Cup. The NHL hasregistered trademarks associated with the name and likeness of the Stanley Cup,although the league\'s right to outright own trademarks associated with a trophyit does not own has been disputed by some legal experts. The original bowl was madeof silver and is 18.5 centimeters (7.28 inches) in height and 29 centimeters(11.42 inches) in diameter. The current Stanley Cup, topped with a copy of theoriginal bowl, is made of a silver and nickel alloy; it has a height of 89.54centimeters (35.25 inches) and weighs 15.5 kilograms (34.5 lb / 2 st 6½ lb).

Unlike the trophies awardedby the other major professional sports leagues of North America, a new Stanley Cup is not made each year. Originally, thewinners kept it until a new champion was crowned. Currently, winning teams getthe Stanley Cup during the summer and a limited number of days during theseason. It is unusual among trophies to include winning members\' names. Everyyear since 1924, a select portion of the winning players, coaches, management,and club staff names are engraved on its bands. However, there is not enoughroom to include all the players and non-players, so some names must be omitted.Initially a new band added each year, though this caused the trophy to grow insize, earning the nickname \"Stovepipe Cup\". In 1958 the modernone-piece Cup was designed with a five-band barrel which could contain 13winning teams per band. To prevent the Stanley Cup from growing, when thebottom band is full, the oldest band is removed and preserved in the HockeyHall of Fame, and a new blank band added to the bottom. It has been referred toas The Cup, Lord Stanley\'s Cup, The Holy Grail, or facetiously (chiefly bysportswriters) as Lord Stanley\'s Mug. The Stanley Cup is surrounded by numerouslegends and traditions, the oldest of which is the celebratory drinking ofchampagne out of the cup by the winning team.

Since the 1914-15 season,the Cup has been won a combined 101 times by 18 active NHL teams and fivedefunct teams. It was not awarded in 1919 because of a Spanish flu epidemic,and in 2005, as a consequence of the 2004-05 NHL lockout. During the challengecup era from 1893 to 1914, the Cup was held by nine different teams. TheMontreal Canadians have won the Cup a record 24 times and are the most recentCanadian-based team to win the cup, having won it in 1993, while the DetroitRed Wings have won the Cup 11 times, the most of any United States based NHL team, mostrecently in 2008.
