Check out a list of previous champions on our Stanley Cup Champions page. The Stanley Cup is also known as, The Cup, The Holy Grail, or ironically, Lord Stanley's Mug. The trophy itself was donated in 1892 by the Governor General of Canada, Lord Stanley, to the top-ranked amateur hockey team in Canada. With various league expansions and consolidations, the Stanley Cup has obtained a history as one of the oldest sports trophies in North America and the highest ice hockey honor in the world.
The Stanley Cup Finals games are played at the respective home arenas of the two final teams competing for the championship.

In a sport like hockey where the fans are practically on the ice with the players, a home rink advantage is huge. Just ask the Montreal Canadiens who have won more Stanley Cups than any other team.
