Not that the Chicago Blackhawks players complained a whole lot because it meant the party lasted even longer, but last June's awkward delay in the Stanley Cup arriving on the ice after the Blackhawks clinched the championship is guaranteed to not ever happen again.

"The Cup will be in the custody of NHL Security at all times during the finals," Jeff Denomme, the president and CEO of the Hockey Hall of Fame, said in an email.
