Stanley Cup winning teams are always a good mix between “oldies” (30+ years old), young guns (in their early 20s) and everything in between. Skaters are said to hit their primes around the age of 28, and Cup winning teams usually have star players around that age. For example, the Los Angeles Kings’ 2014 Championship roster had Anze Kopitar (26), Jonathan Quick (28) and Jeff Carter (29), along with veterans like Justin Williams (32) and Willie Mitchell (36), and young guns like Drew Doughty (24) and Tyler Toffoli (21).
