The National Hockey League (NHL) is a professional ice hockey league in North America. It was founded on November 26, 1917, with the merger of the National Hockey Association (NHA) and the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA). The league currently consists of 31 teams: 24 in the United States and 7 in Canada. The Stanley Cup is the championship trophy awarded annually to the winner of the NHL playoffs.
The Stanley Cup is a large silver cup with three small gold rings attached to its handles. It weighs 34.5 pounds (15.6 kg) and is 24 inches (61 cm) tall. The cup was originally purchased in 1892 by Sir Frederick Arthur Stanley, 6th Baron Stanley of Preston (1841–1904), for 10 guineas ($50.00 USD at the time). The current value of the Stanley Cup is unknown, but it is estimated to be worth millions of dollars. The cup has been stolen twice and has been damaged numerous times. It has also been lost on several occasions, but has always been found.
which team has won the most stanley cups
There are a few teams that have won the Stanley Cup multiple times. The Montreal Canadiens have won the cup 24 times, the Toronto Maple Leafs have won it 13 times, and the Detroit Red Wings have won it 11 times. As of right now, the Pittsburgh Penguins are the current champions, having won their fourth cup in 2017. Out of all the teams that have won the Stanley Cup, the Montreal Canadiens have the most wins. However, the Detroit Red Wings are close behind with 11 wins, and the Pittsburgh Penguins are not far behind with 4 wins. As time goes on, it will be interesting to see if any other team can catch up to these three teams in terms of Stanley Cup wins.
There have been a few teams that have come close to winning the Stanley Cup, but have ultimately not succeeded. The Edmonton Oilers, for example, have made it to the cup finals 7 times, but they have not been able to win the cup. Similarly, the Boston Bruins have also gone to the cup finals 6 times, but they have not been able to win it either. Although these teams have not been able to win the Stanley Cup, they are still some of the best teams in the NHL.
