[edit] Stanley Cup engraving
- Chuck Gardiner became the only goalie to be engraved on the Stanley Cup as a Captain. In 1948 Bill Durnan of Montreal Canadiens, became the last goalie to serve as a Captain. In summer of 1948 NHL changed the rules saying goaltenders can no longer serve as captains.
- Canadian Johnny Gottselig was first Russian to win the Stanley Cup. Gottselig moved to Canada as a child, with his family. It was not until the late 80's that Russians were given permission to play in the NHL.
- Mistake Lionel Conacher name was mispelt T. Conacher instead of L. Conacher.
- Joe Starke never played in the NHL as a goalie, but name is on the Stanley Cup. Some sources says Starke played 2 regular season games at defence. The NHL officially says Starke did not play a game in NHL at any position.
- Chicago did not add a ring, they just used up the rest of ring put on by the New York Rangers the season before including only their winning members. When the New York Rangers won the Cup in 1933 they put 2 rings on the cup the first listing the members. On the second ring they included the following: "1933 Marked the seventh consecutive year in which Lester Patrick had piloted the Rangers to the National Hockey League Playoffs".
