The Stanley Cup Trophy

The championship trophy for the NHL, a.k.a. "The Holy Grail" or "Lord Stanley's Mug." Unlike the trophies awarded by the other three major professional sports leagues of North America, a new Stanley Cup is not made annually; unless the Cup winners repeat as champions in the following season, they only keep it until the new champion is crowned. It is also the only trophy in professional sports that has the name of the winning players, coaches, management, and club staff engraved upon it. It is so revered players will not touch it unless they win it.?
