2024 Cup engraving

[Nogatco Rd]

I'm pretty sure I read that they just retired the ring with the last Leafs Cup on it, which means the O6 era is no longer on the Cup

insult to injury

Awesome!!

Do the Viola's 3 sons actually work for the team, or how did they get on there?

They would have to be involved in some capacity, or else they wouldn't get approved. Recall the 1984 Oilers originally had Basil Pocklington (owner Peter's father) listed, but he had nothing to do with the team so it was X'd out.

Also worth noting that the Red Wings had several of the Illich family listed each time they won, so there is precedent for the Violas to all be here, too.

Pocklington is exactly where my mind went too
I just wasn't aware the sons were involved in hockey ops, and didn't see them on the Panthers' website, so was just curious if some FLA fans knew a little more

They may have some share in ownership, anyone know how that's structured? If it's officially owned by a family foundation and they're all trustees (makes inheritance easy), they would all have equal right to be listed as owners.

I know they replace a ring after every 13 years. Do they not touch the top rings, and just replace the larger bottom ones?

When a band is replaced, only the band in the Band 1 position is removed. Everything below it is moved up, and a new band is added to the bottom.

The "Collar" above Band 1 stays in place

When did they change from the stove pipe?

 

[Machinehead]

His name is Samson Reinhart?

This is how I found out.

1948

They took all the rings from 1928 to 1947 and consolidated them into larger bands like we see now, but left the more decorative, stepped ones for the collar



I do think it's pretty wild to remember that THIS was the originally intended trophy

But then they understandably decided to engrave their names on the trophy... and then kept adding and kept adding and kept adding

The modern, standardized look is so iconic, though, I'd never dream of changing it. And its slightly humourous, if not impressive, history only makes it better.

 

[Hall of Faber]

So your name stays on the cup for 65 years? Would be pretty thought out.

And Brad Aldrich's name was removed by being covered with Xs after his...yeah

 

[Beniersgeron]

Happy to see Roberto Luongo name on the cup, my hockey idol growing up.

Ah, the ol' Stovepipe Cup. Yes, it looks far more iconic now. It looked so....anorexic there.

My guess is pops put their names there.

 

[Coffey]

They gonna get stamped out like Pocklingtons dad?

 

[Voight]

I imagine they're listed as owners or something like that, so they'll stay.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Today i learned that Sam Reinhart is named Samson.

He's said he prefers to go by Samson. It makes sense, have you seen his brother's name?

 

[SirPaste]

Tuomo Ruutu, there's a name I haven't heard in awhile

 

[cptjeff]

Yeah, pretty sure after the Pocklington thing, the NHL would have double checked.

He deserved to have his name on the Cup just for his hilarious Twitter account from back in the day.

Honestly I wish they would just leave all of the bands on there. You know how funny it would be to see players hoisting a 4m, 45kg trophy around the ice?

I mean....it feels like a bit of stretch to include so many non players on it. IMO it should be the following.....

Owner - GM - Head Coach - Assistant Coaches - Players.

No scouts. No player development. No assistant GM's. No waterboys. Keep it simple.
