Lord Stanley purchased the trophy for 10 Guineas, to be presented to “the championship hockey club of the Dominion of Canada. The original trophy was 7.5″ tall, 11.5″ in diameter, and, simply, a cup. The first team to win The Stanley Cup was the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association (MAAA) in 1893, and for many years only amateur teams competed for the Cup. Teams with the professional National Hockey Association started to compete for it in 1910, and by 1926, the Stanley Cup had “become the trophy of the National Hockey League.”
