I was not paying close attention when all the buzz about Stanley cups took off, so I spent several hours wondering where all those hockey fans were coming from, and weren't the NHL championships much later in the year? And wasn't there just the one Stanley Cup?*
Yeah, not that one, though the colorful, mass-produced, name-brand Stanley cups kind of approach the NHL trophy for size and shape.
The world is a strange place.

My store sells them, and I still have that initial reaction whenever they're mentioned.
