Today I learned something new. Consider for a moment the Stanley Cup and its size. It is obvious there is no room for every name. For every team and player who have won a championship to remain on Lord Stanley’s contribution to Canada’s game, the Cup might weigh Seventy-five pounds and be seven to eight feet long. A crane would be necessary to hoist it.
The Last Toronto Maple Leafs team to have their names engraved were the 1967 geriatric team. Filled with mostly battle-hardened veterans and a few young stars like Ellis, Stemkowski, and Walton. Dave Keon was 26, the Big M 28 and already the winners of three cups in a row, 1962, 63 and 64.
