An array of exhibits showcasing the nine teams considered Stanley Cup Dynasties.
|
Stanley Cup Dynasties, unveiled in conjunction with new NHL Zone, includes reverent displays to the rosters of nine teams which lorded over the NHL for extended periods of time, allowing these clubs to be considered 'Dynasties'.
The Ottawa Senators of the 1920's, the Toronto Maple Leafs of the 1940's and sixties, the Detroit Red Wings of the early-fifties, the Montreal Canadiens of the late-fifties, the sixties and the 1970's, the New York Islanders of the early-eighties, and Edmonton's Oilers of the late-1980's are heralded in this area, which also includes a unique, floor-to-ceiling engraved Stanley Cup "Bands" of Champions wall.
This zone also features the MyHockeySpace Magazine Dressing Room exhibit; a replica of the Montreal Canadiens' dressing room from the days of the Forum which was home to 23 Stanley Cup champions between 1924 and its closing in 1996. Montreal was chosen because the organization's facility exudes the tradition more than any other in hockey. The name plates of each Montreal roster are proudly featured above the stalls, while the opposite wall showcases the inspiring portraits of the franchise's greatest players.
The Habs' dressing room from the old Montreal Forum has been faithfully recreated..
