This has not always been the case. When he first donated the Cup in 1892, one of Lord Stanley of Preston's original conditions was that each team could, at their own expense, add a ring on the Cup to commemorate their Cup victory (the first year being an exception). Lord Stanley's original trophy was simply a silver bowl minted with the words "Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup" on one side of the outside rim, and "From Stanley of Preston" with his family's coat of arms on the other side. Frederick Arthur Stanley, 16th Earl of Derby, KG, GCB, GCVO, PC (15 January 1841â€“14 June 1908) was Colonial Secretary from 1885 to 1886 and Governor General of Canada from 1888 to 1893. ...

Challenge Cup Era

During the Challenge Cup Era from 1893-1914, teams had to add their names to the trophy at their own expense. Initially, there was only one ring, the one added by the first Cup champion Montreal AAA. Clubs then engraved their team names, usually in the form "[TEAM NAME] [YEAR WON]", on that one ring until it was full in 1902. With no room to engrave their names (perhaps unwilling to pay for a second band to the Cup), teams started leaving their mark on the bowl. A second ring was finally added by the Ottawa Senators in 1909. However, for some unknown reasons, some teams during this era never bothered to engrave their names on the Cup. This article discusses the original Ottawa Senators franchise. ...

The "World Series" Era

This argeement effectively ended the Challenge Cup rule in which a new champion was crowned after it won the title of the previous champion's league. However, the 1915 Ottawa Senators, the 1916 Portland Rosebuds, and the 1918 Vancouver Millionaires all engraved their names on the Cup even though they did not officially win it under the new system.

The NHA dissolved in 1917, and the National Hockey League (NHL) took its place. Then after the Western Canada Hockey League (WCHL) was born in 1921, it was agreed that all three league champions would play for the Cup. The PCHA and the WCHL later merged to form the Western Hockey League (WHL) in 1924. The modernized NHL shield logo debuted in 2005, replacing the orange and black shield, which had been used since the leagues inception. ... The Western Canada Hockey League (WCHL), founded in 1921, was a major professional ice hockey league originally based in the prairies of Canada. ...

The NHL takes over the Cup, and the "Stovepipe"

After the WHL folded in 1926, the Cup has been awarded to the NHL champions. Since then, the engraving of the team and its players has been an annual tradition that has not been broken. Originally, a new band was added almost every year, causing the Cup to grow in size. Thus, it became commonly referred to as the "Stovepipe Cup" due to its resemblance to the exhaust pipe of a stove. This page is a candidate to be copied to Wiktionary. ... An exhaust pipe is usually a pipe used to guide waste exhaust gases away from a controlled combustion inside an engine or stove. ...

The 1948 redesign

Because the Stovepipe Cup became impractical due to its ever increasing height, the NHL decided to redesign the trophy. The base of the Stovepipe Cup (all of the bands prior to the New York Rangers' 1928 ring) was moved back to the top directly under the bowl. Underneath this came a new shoulder collar onto which only the names of the previous winning teams were engraved, including those teams during the Challenge Cup Era that did not engrave their names on the Cup themselves. Room was left on the new collar for future teams.

All of the 1927-28 to 1945-46 rings from the Stovepipe Cup were eventually taken to the Hockey Hall of Fame. In its place, nine bands of various heights were attached below the new collar, forming a vastly expanded barrel-like body. The first five from the top listed teams and rosters that were previously engraved on the various stovepipe rings. The sixth band was left blank for future use. Underneath that was a replica of the wide 1940 band from the Stovepipe Cup, but expanded to allow room for a few more teams. The 1946-47 Cup champion Toronto Maple Leafs, who had to wait a year because of the redesign, were also added to the wide band. Finally, two more narrow blank bands were added to the bottom of the trophy. The Hockey Hall of Fame is located at the corner of Front & Yonge in downtown Toronto The Stanley Cup on display at the Hockey Hall of Fame The Hockey Hall of Fame which is located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, celebrates the history of ice hockey with exhibits featuring memorabilia and...

Unless otherwise noted, all of the following teams also engraved their full rosters on the stated location, and put their club name on the shoulder collar.

The 1957 redesign

As soon as the 1956 Montreal Canadiens added their names to the Cup, all of the various narrow and wide bands of the trophy's barrel was full. Therefore, they were replaced with five symmetrical bands, each of which could contain 13 winning teams. The winning teams and rosters from 1927-28 to 1939-40 were engraved on the first band, the 1940-41 to 1952-53 champions on the second band, and the 1953-54 winners onward on the third band. This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...

Although the bands were originally designed to fill up during the Cup's centennial year, the names of the 1964-65 Montreal Canadiens were engraved over a larger area than allotted (and thus there are 12 teams on that band instead of 13). Also the Cup underwent several minor alterations, namely the retirement of the collar in 1963 and the bowl in 1969 in favor of duplicates because the originals became too brittle.

Unless otherwise noted, all of the following teams also engraved their full rosters on the stated location, and put their club name on the shoulder collar.

The top ring is retired

After the bands were finally all filled, the top band of the large barrel, with the 1927-28 to 1939-40 champions, was taken to the Hockey Hall of Fame, and a new blank band was introduced at the bottom so the size of the Stanley Cup would not grow further.

One year later, the shoulder collar listing the names of the previous winners was also filled to capacity, but it was decided to keep it on the trophy, unchanged in perpetuity.
