  Stanley Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was originally used as the trophy given out to the top amateur hockey team in Canada, decided by the acceptance of a challenge from another team by the Cup holders and trustees.
Until 1910, when Cup trustees declared that only players who played in their league's regular season were eligible to play for the Cup, it was commonplace for both champion and challenger in the challenge series to bring in professional ringers to play the challenge games.
Governor General Adrienne Clarkson stated early in the dispute that the Cup should be awarded to the top women's hockey team since the lockout cancelled the NHL season, but on March 10, 2005, she announced that she would instead create a new trophy for women's hockey.
