The Stanley Cup is the oldest and most recognized trophy in
professional sports. It was crafted in Sheffield, England in the
late 1800s and was first presented in 1893. It is the only trophy
in professional sports that is passed along from player to player
in the summer their team wins it. The Stanley Cup travels close to
300 days per year and has logged more than 800,000 miles in travel
since the 2000-01 NHL season, including trips to Russia, Czech
Republic, Sweden, Finland, Japan, Austria, Germany, Italy, England,
Belarus, Ukraine, Belgium, Afghanistan, Dubai, France, the Bahamas
and the Arctic Circle. It is made of silver and nickel alloy,
weighs 35 pounds and stands at three feet tall. There is only one
Stanley Cup, authenticated by the seal of the Hockey Hall of Fame
in the bottom of the Cup. This seal can be seen when winning
players lift the Cup over their heads.
