he did not buy it, the cup (trophy) was made to honour him by calling it the "Stanley Cup" to be presented to the winning NHL hockey team.

It was a changle trophy that started out in the late 1800s, the NHL never started until 1917.And he did buy it back thenfor all of Canada that had hockey teams.

in the Early years teams from the USA even won it a time or two

Lord Stanley donated the cup in 1892 at the age of 51. It cost him roughly 50 dollars to create.
