Lord Stanley's Cup. (NHL).
The hardest pro sports trophy to win also leads the pack in history. Now that we have a better idea of where the Cup is going this season, it's time to see where it has been.
1 Purchased by Frederick Arthur, Lord Stanley of Preston, 16th Earl of Derby, for 10 guineas (equivalent to $48.67) in 1892.
2 Initially called the Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup, its first winner, in 1893, was the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association team.
3 The original trophy was just the top bowl, measuring 7 1/2 inches high and 11 1/2 inches across. The bottom section was added in 1909.
4 The first team to have its players' names engraved on the trophy was the Montreal Wanderers, in 1907.
5 In 1924, the Canadiens added a silver band between the two rings. All teams had their players' names engraved from this point forward.
6 A year later, the Victoria Cougars added the angled band between the bowl and the first ring.
