The Stanley Cup Tyler

Parsonage

In 1915 the Stanley cup was brought about along with multiple teams. The first team who called the cup with the first official Stanley cup win was the Montreal Canadians in 1916. The Toronto Maple Leafs won the cup in 1918 which led Toronto and Montreal battling it out for the cup for many years. The Boston Bruins finally stepped in and stole the cup from the two dominating teams in 1927 only for the New York Rangers to win it in 1928. The next two teams to win the Stanley cup were the Chicago Black hawks and the Detroit Red Wings in 1931 and in 1934. There was a long section where no new teams ever won the cup. The St. Louis Blues made it to the cup 3 years in a row only to lose all three. Finally in 1974 the Philadelphia Flyers won the cup only to win another one in 1975. Many more teams joining the NHL battled for the cup and are still battling. Still today Montreal is on top of the list for Stanley cup wins with Toronto trailing behind.
