Hockey is a sport that is entrenched in superstitions.
The most well known is the usual refusal to touch the Prince of Wales Trophy or the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl after winning either conference, but the myriad of pre-game rituals from what the athletes eat, to how they prepare, how equipment is put on, etc. shows just how serious these athletes take these actions.
But beyond the players, even fans get wrapped up in their own superstitions and one that has certainly done the rounds is an apparent curse involving the President’s Trophy.
The curse implies that if a team wins the President’s Trophy, they simply won’t win the Stanley Cup.
