STANLEY CUP TRUSTEES
When Lord Stanley donated the Stanley Cup in 1893, he appointed trustees to care for the Cup. The main responsibility of the trustees was to maintain the rules, govern the competitions and ensure the Stanley Cup was awarded and returned in proper condition. When one trustee chooses to resign or is in need of replacement, the remaining trustee nominates a substitute. The trustees have absolute power over all matters regarding the Stanley Cup.
