Stanley Cup removes a ring

This season's Cup win means a ring needs to go from the Stanley Cup - they need to accomodate the next 13 years worth of winners. So that means 1941 through 1953 will be removed. the Leafs won the Cup in 42, 45, 47, 48, 49 and 51.
Gone.
The next year to replace a new ring will be 2018, and that will remove the Leafs' wins in 62, 63 and 64.
So the only Stanley Cup Toronto Maple Leaf victory noted on the Stanley Cup itself will be the 1967 win.
Man we have some winning to do over the next decade or so.

Re: Stanley Cup removes a ring

What do they do with the removed rings? Are they sent to the Hall of Fame or something?

Re: Stanley Cup removes a ring

I'm sure they do go to the hockey hall of fame-apparently the original ring has been stolen before and it was found seven years later in a parking lot.

This from the hockey hall of fame site:
Because the Cup is the only professional sports trophy where the name of every member of the winning team is inscribed, bands are often retired to make room for new champions. Retired bands, along with the original Stanley Cup bowl, are proudly displayed in Lord Stanley's Vault in the MCI Great Hall.
