The Stanley Cup was fabricated in Sheffield, England in 1892 and presented to hockey the following year by Lord Stanley. At 116 years old, the cup is the oldest trophy competed for in professional sports. Every year, the Stanley Cup Playoff winning team has the names of the players, management, and coaching staff engraved on the cup.While the original is awarded to the winning team every year, an exact replica is displayed in the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, Canada. The cup's popularity takes it all over the world, traveling over 250 days a year making numerous appearances and raising money for charity.
