The Montreal Hockey Club of the Amateur Hockey Association of Canada (AHAC) was the first team to officially win the Stanley Cup on March 17, 1893. Donated in 1892 by the Governor General of Canada, Lord Stanley of Preston, the Stanley Cup was to be awarded to the amateur hockey team that finished their season with the best record. Today's version of the cup features several layers of rings bearing the names of players on the winning teams, topped off by the original bowl, which can be seen in this picture.
