Oilers Aren't the Only Edmonton Team to Play for the Stanley Cup

January 9th, 2021 The Stanley Cup has a long and storied history, dating back to the late 1800s when it was first donated by Lord Stanley of Preston, the Governor-General of Canada, as an award for Canada's top-ranking amateur hockey team. Mark Lamb, coach John Muckler and Kelly Buchberger of the Edmonton Oilers celebrate with the Stanley...

Removing the Maple Leafs From the Cup - Some Personal Thoughts

Removing the Maple Leafs From the Cup - Some Personal Thoughts

December 25th, 2020 When I was a young boy – I am thinking about eight or nine – my father took me to visit Maple Leaf Gardens. He was usually a quiet man, but I recall that this day he was unusually excited. Walking down the street outside the Gardens, he told me about the Toronto Maple Leafs and the great hockey played there. He was excited to show...

The Stanley Cup & Grey Cup Have Common & Intertwined Histories

November 25th, 2020 Last Sunday was supposed to be the playing of the Canadian Football League's championship.

Grey Cup Sunday has become a tradition in Canada, with fans regularly packing...
Bobby Orr's Flying Goal

Bobby Orr's Flying Goal

November 21st, 2020 You've probably heard of Bobby Orr. Widely considered the best defenseman to ever play the game, and even considered by some the best player ever, the legendary No. 4 took his first strides in the NHL during the 1966-67 season -- but, it was during Orr's prime that he dominated the league. From the 1969-70 season to the 1974-75...
The History of Overtime in the Chase for the Stanley Cup

The History of Overtime in the Chase for the Stanley Cup

October 20th, 2020 In the first game of the first round of the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Tampa Bay Lightning needed a fifth overtime period to put away the Columbus Blue Jackets.

October 15th, 2020 Winning in the NHL is anything but easy.

The Day the Stanley Cup was Stolen

The Day the Stanley Cup was Stolen

September 21st, 2020 There are few objects in sports that inspire such reverence and awe as the Stanley Cup. The simplicity and elegance of the trophy that bears the names of all of its recipients puts championship awards from other sports to shame. But did you know that on a cold day in December nearly fifty years ago, the Stanley Cup was almost lost...
