The text "2004-05 Season Not Played" is permanently engraved on the Stanley Cup and acknowledges the season not played due to a labour dispute. |
A new ring is added to the Stanley Cup: Hurricanes and 2004-05 Cancelled Season Recognized
After the Tampa Bay Lightning earned the championship in 2003-04, the last remaining spot on the bottom ring was taken. Consequently, with the 2005-06 Stanley Cup championship team comes a new ring including the names of each member of the 2006 Carolina Hurricanes.
That is not the only engraving on that bottom ring. After much discussion, the 2004-05 campaign has been acknowledged in spite of the fact that the season was not played due to a labour dispute. "The year off is a part of hockey history," states Phil Pritchard, Curator of the Hockey Hall of Fame. "The inscription regarding 2004-05 is not only for the people of today, but for the people 50 years from now. The Stanley Cup inscriptions tell the entire story of the trophy, not an abridged version."
