Originally inscribed the Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup, the trophy was donated in 1892 by then Governor General of Canada Lord Stanley of Preston, as an award for Canada's top-ranking amateur Ice Hockey club. In 1915, the two professional ice hockey organizations, the National Hockey Association (NHA) and the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA), reached a gentlemen's agreement in which their respective champions would face each other for the Stanley Cup. After a series of league mergers and folds, it became the de facto championship trophy of the NHL in 1926.

FranThere have been two occasions when the Cup has not been prersented:
1) In 1918/19 season, the Stanley Cup final had to be canceled when a lot of players fell sick and one died because of the Spanish Flu epidemic.
2) in2004/05 season, the Cup was not presented because of the labour dispute that caused the NHL to lock out its players and cancel the season.

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.
