Víťazi Stanley cupu
Stanley Cup je známy ako druhá časť sezóny NHL. Zápasy play-off Stanleyho pohára prebiehajú od polovice apríla do polovice júna, kde šestnásť najlepších tímov NHL po základnej časti zápasí o prvenstvo a pohár, ktorý je jednou z najviac s láskou uchovávaných športových trofejí na svete. Víťaz musí vyhrať v systéme "štyri výhry zo siedmich zápasov" celkom šestnásť stretnutí z celkových dvadsiatich ôsmi možných a to všetko sa odohrá po vyše osemdesiatich stretnutiach základnej časti ligy.
Tento každoročný rituál sa rozvíja v rôznych formátoch od roku 1893, čo je rok potom, ako lord Stanley, knieža prestónsky a generálny guvernér Kanady, daroval vyzývací pohár pre symbolizáciu hokejového majstrovstva Kanady.
Trofej nazvanú Stanley Challenge Cup - Stanleyho vyzývací pohár - zakúpil v roku 1892 vtedajší britský guvernér Kanady lord Frederick Arthur Stanley of Preston. Určil, aby o ňu bojovali najlepšie tími Kanady – rozumie sa, že amatérske, profesionálne v tej dobe ešte neboli. Lord Stanley sa však vrátil do Anglicka, bez toho že by bol videl stretnutie majstrovstiev, alebo osobne odovzdal trofej, ktorá nesie jeho meno. Nebol teda pri tom, keď sa hokejový klub s názvom Montreal Amateur Athletic Association stal prvým víťazom trofeje. Hlavne však nemohol predvídať, že jeho trofej sa stane vlastníctvom NHL, ktorá do roku 1917 neexistovala a do sezóny 26-27 ani neprevzala riadenie súťaže o Stanleyho pohár.
