Have a great game and a superlative weekend…

The heritage of Lord Stanley’s cup is tied to the west coast and his Namesake park in Vancouver. The cup includes the Vancouver Millionaires from 1915, and existed as a team from 1911- 1926, only having the cup for one season.

Governor General’s cup

Lord Stanley was the Governor general of Canada from 1888 to 1893 and presented the cup to be used with his name. Fredrick Charles Stanley was the 17th Earl of Derby.

The first team to have the cup to demonstrate the virtues expected to have the cup for a year was the Amature Athletic Assocation of Montreal. The Cup is said to be the hardest cup to aquire in all of professional sport.

Good Luck ☘️
