The Stanley Cup is the oldest professional sports trophy in North America. Its namesake, Lord Frederick Stanley of Preston, originally donated it while he was governor general of Canada in 1892. The Cup has been the championship trophy of the National Hockey League since 1926.

Every player to win the Cup has his name inscribed on it. The original 7.2" x 11.4" (18.3 x 30.0 cm) Cup sits atop today’s modern 35" (88.9 cm) high trophy, which was designed in 1958 and weighs 35 lbs. (15.9 kg).
