Point out that there are actually three Stanley Cups in the world. He loved hockey and wanted this Cup to represent his legacy as the Governor General. Since then, it went through many transformations. Sometimes, when players won the Cup, they would engrave their names onto the bowl. To avoid that, in , the league added a three-foot-long cylinder to the bottom of the bowl where they could properly put the names of the champions.
That lead to the addition of bands that we see today. Its purpose is to be displayed in the Hall of Fame and to be given to players when they have their day to celebrate with the Cup. There is no way that the league would trust the authentic, year-old trophy with drunken players, so the Presentation Cup is used instead. Even though the Stanley Cup has three different variations, it is still considered the greatest trophy in sports. Eichel acquisition helps correct squandered Fleury trade.
The second was is that you can look for the errors on the Stanley Cup. Yes, there are numerous errors on the Stanley Cup that have never been fixed. The easiest one to spot is in the Edmonton Oilers championship.
When the Presentation Cup is fulfilling its duties at all of the various events they want to have a Stanley Cup to display at the Hockey Hall of Fame. So, enter in the Hockey Hall of Fame Cup. This replicated permanent cup was made in as a stand in when the presentation Cup is not able to be displayed. The easiest way to tell if you are seeing the Hockey Hall of Fame Cup is to look and see if the errors have been fixed. This is the Stanley Cup I saw when I went to the Hockey Hall of Fame, which is not surprising as I went on the summer and the Stanley Cup will be touring all of the player locations at that time.
No, there are no more Stanley Cups being replicated. A team will get to keep the Stanley Cup for celebration purposes during the summer, but it is given back to the trustees of the Hockey Hall of Fame at the start of the next regular season.

The Presentation Cup is the one that is in heavy use. How can you tell if you are seeing the Presentation Cup? Well, there are two main ways. They had gotten a flat tire and took the Cup out of the car to change the tire.
This would not have been memorable had they not forgotten the Cup on the side of the road. The team realized it was missing and had to go back and get it. Luckily for them, the Cup was sitting on a snow drift right where they left it. Since Pritchard took over Cup-keeping duties in , the Cup has been able to have some summer fun in a pool on at least three occasions.
The first was when the Penguins won the cup in Mario Lemieux was holding a team party at his house when the old two-niner, Phil Bourque, decided he wanted to see if the Cup could float. It was quickly recovered, but took another swim two years later. In their drunken state, the players forgot about the cup until they sobered up the next day.
When the Cup was recovered it was handed over to Harry Smith, the most responsible man on the Ottawa team. There are over 2, names on the cup, and it is constantly changing. As new names are added, old rings are removed. The names of players between and are at the Hockey Hall of Fame. These are most of the names from the Dominion Cup. It was a streamlined cup that would get a new band every year.
It was originally called the Stovepipe Cup, but in it became too tall to hold and it became the tiered cup we know today.
While we would want to think that the official engravers — there have only been four in the history of the Cup — are perfect, some names have been inscribed incorrectly. Even team names are not safe.

Only 52 names get to be on the cup, and those names have to actually be members of the team although some exceptions have been made. The Detroit Red Wings had a player who was seriously injured in a car accident the year prior and allowed for his name to be placed on the cup. Some try to get around the rules. Twelve women have their names on the cup. Only one Canadian woman has her name on the cup: Sonia Scurfield, co-owner of the Calgary Flames during their win. The youngest player to ever win the Cup was Larry Hillman.
