What else can I help you with?
Are there two NHL Stanley cup trophies?
There are technically three versions of the "Stanley Cup": the original 1892 bowl or Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup, the 1963 authenticated "Presentation Cup", and the 1993 "Replica Cup" at the Hall of Fame.
Is the Stanley cup in the Toronto hockey hall of fame real?
The "real,original" Cup is in the Hockey Hall of Fame. In 1969, the league was worried that the original silver bowl might be getting brittle and could suffer damage. A replica was made and that is the one that is presented on ice and used by players in the summer when they have their day with the cup. The Stanley Cup in the Hockey Hall of Fame is the replica cup when the authentic Cup is presented to the Stanley Cup champions, with individuals on their days with it, and at other functions. When viewed closely, the two Cups can be differentiated because there are several name errors on the authentic Cup that are not present on the replica.
Can you explain the key differences between a real Stanley Cup and a replica, and how can one distinguish between the two"?
The key differences between a real Stanley Cup and a replica are the materials used and the authenticity of the engravings. A real Stanley Cup is made of silver and nickel alloy, while a replica is usually made of cheaper materials like plastic or aluminum. One can distinguish between the two by looking at the weight, craftsmanship, and the presence of official engravings and markings.

Where is the first Stanley cup?
The original Stanley Cup is in the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. It consists of only the bowl section and has been removed from the extensive base of silver rings and retired from service. There are two other Stanley Cups. One is used for presentations and touring, the other is an exact replica that is also permanently housed in the HHOF.
Is it the real Stanley Cup that is carried around the ice after a team wins the NHL championship?
Yes or no, depending on what you mean by "real". There are three cups: the original cup, the authenticated cup, and the replica cup. The original Stanley Cup, the one purchased by Lord Stanley, became too fragile for the use and abuse associated with the award and was retired to the Hockey Hall of Fame. An exact replica, the authenticated cup, was created to take the place of the original and this is what is carried around by the players, taken to special events, etc. A perfect replica, without any mistakes or misspellings, is displayed at the Hockey Hall of Fame when the authenticated Cup is traveling. The last time the original Stanley Cup was awarded was sometime between 1962 and 1970. The NHL kept the creation of the new authenticated cup a secret so that it would be accepted as the real cup, and apparently it remains to this day a secret as to when the exact switch occurred, probably for the same reason (if anyone can find solid information as to when the switch was made please post it here).
