It is hollow inside, with the top part being the original cup donated by Lord Stanley in the beginning, and the lower part, with the silver bands of names and teams, having been added over the years. That makes the Stanley Cup the oldest annual championship trophy in the world, for any professional sport.
The Stanley Cup's original section was made in Toronto, by BIRK'S Jewelers, on Younge street, and they still make the annual silver name plate with the winning team's players and owners, as well as making the Stanley Cup rings for the players and team management.
The Stanley Cup has it's own personal escort officer who travels with it all over the world. He is responsible for it's safety and security. It travels in a custom made case.Relates Search : how heavy is the stanley cup, how old is sydney crosby, why do they throw octopus on the ice, stanley cup, conn smythe trophy
