In The Beginning
  • It all started with a memo from Lord Stanley the
    Earl of Preston and Governor General of Canada
  • "I have for some time been thinking that it would
    be a good thing if there were a challenge cup
    which should be held from year to year by the
    champion hockey team in the Dominion (of Canada).

  • The winners to return the Cup in good order when
    required by the trustees in order that it may be
    handed over to any other team which may win it.
  • Each winning team to have the club name and year
    engraved on a silver ring fitted on the Cup.
  • The Cup to remain a challenge competition and not
    the property of any one team, even if won more
    than once.

    Athletic Association in 1893

    Rockies and inside igloos in Canada's newest
    territory, Nunavut.
