Stanley Cup damaged as the Florida Panthers celebrate a second straight championship

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — The Stanley Cup is a little banged up, thanks to the Florida Panthers’ celebration of back-to-back titles.

The bowl of the famous trophy is cracked and the bottom is dented. Not for the first time and likely not the last.

The Panthers claimed their second straight championship on home ice Tuesday night, defeating Edmonton in a six-game series. The team, upholding years of tradition, celebrated with the Cup into the early hours and continued the festivities in Fort Lauderdale well into Wednesday afternoon.

A representative from the Hockey Hall of Fame mentioned that the keepers of the Cup are taking the necessary measures and aim to have it repaired by the time the celebration parade occurs on Sunday. Composed of silver and a nickel alloy, the 37-pound Cup is relatively pliable.

Incurring damage is not unfamiliar for the 131-year-old silver trophy, which has been submerged in pools, the Atlantic Ocean, and frequently mishandled by players, coaches, and staff over the past century. Just in this decade, the Tampa Bay Lightning dropped the Cup during their boat parade in 2021, and the Colorado Avalanche dented it on the ice the night they secured their victory the following year.
