It is named after Frederick Arthur, first Lord Stanley of Preston, Governor General of Canada from 1888-1893, who donated the Cup as "a challenge cup which should be held from year to year by the champion hockey team in the dominion of Canada."
The Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.
The Stanley Cup was originally donated in 1893 as a challenge cup, for the amateur hockey championship of Canada, by Frederick Arthur, Lord Stanley of Preston, at the time Governor General of Canada.
The Newbery was first awarded in 1922. Since then it has been awarded every year.
The value of the Stanley CUp is simple. It is purchased, on rented as it were, each year with the quite literal blood, sweat and tears of those brave young men of the NHL who fly across the ice as though their skates had wings, all to earn the title of Stanley Cup Champion, along with our thanks and praise for the effort they put out. Yes, the Cup was purchased in England at the original price of less than 50.00, but today it is priceless. Angela Sanchez
