What is stanley cup engraved?

The Stanley Cup is an annual championship trophy awarded to the National Hockey League (NHL) playoff winner. The cup is named after Lord Stanley of Preston, who was the Governor-General of Canada in 1892 when he donated the cup as a prize for Canada's top amateur hockey team.

The cup is made of silver and stands 35.25 inches tall and weighs 34.5 pounds. The winners of the cup have their team's names and individual player names engraved on the Stanley Cup every year.

The engraving is done using a special tool called a graver that is held by a skilled craftsman. The tool creates the letters and numbers by removing small amounts of metal from the surface of the cup.

The cup can hold up to 52 years of winners' names, and the oldest engraving on the trophy dates back to 1904. The cup is considered to be the most prestigious trophy in ice hockey and the engraving of the championship team's name on it is a coveted honor in the NHL.
