 Stanley Cup Winners
Lord Stanley of Preston must have been a hockey fan, because in 1892 the Canadian Governor-General paid about $50 for a trophy and declared it a "challenge cup" to be held by the best amateur hockey team in Canada.
The Stanley behind the Stanley Cup was Lord Stanley of Preston, the Governor General of Canada (the Queen's Representative to the Dominion of Canada), the sixth in the long regal line.
The Stanley Cup is insured for $75,000, but for so many, spending a summer or a day or a moment with arguably the most cherished trophy in sport is, to steal a phrase from a credit card commercial, priceless.

 List of Stanley Cup champions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Originally, it was referred to as the "Challenge Cup"; the champions held onto the Cup until they either lost their league title to another club, or a champion from another league issued a formal challenge and subsequently defeated the reigning Cup champion in a special game or series.
Also during the Cup's challenge era, all of the leagues that played for the trophy had no annual formal playoff system to decide their own respective championships; whoever finished in first place after the regular season won the league title.
The following is a list of Stanley Cup champions and their record in the finals since 1915, the year the cup was first awarded on an annual basis.

The 2005-2006 NHL season marked the beginning of the post-lockout/salary cap era of the league, and it also marked a banner year for the Carolina Hurricanes beginning with a surprisingly superb regular season which was only capped by the franchise winning their first Stanley Cup championship.
This DVD recaps the 'Canes' monster year, and seeing Brind'Amour accept the Cup is one of the most welcome moments in NHL history; right up there with Joe Sakic passing the Cup to Ray Bourque and Mark Messier raising it in MSG.
The Stanley Cup DVD contains the entire broadcast of game 7 (no commercials, but also no intermission highlights) of the Stanley Cup Final on NBC and most of the broadcast of the celebration at the end (although I was dissapointed that I didn't see Cam Ward hoist the cup, like that's a big deal).
