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

The Stanley Cup is the trophy awarded to the team that wins the championship in the National Hockey League. The Cup was donated in 1892 by Lord Stanley of Preston, at the time the Governor General of Canada, as the award for Canada's top amateur hockey team. Teams that were awarded the cup would be challenged by teams from other amateur leagues to a game or series of games. Over time, the Cup became the trophy that professional hockey leagues would play for. In 1926, the Cup became the official championship trophy of the National Hockey League.
