There are actually three Stanley Cups: the original bowl, the authenticated Cup, and the replica at the Hall of Fame. The original bowl, purchased by Lord Stanley and physically awarded to the champion until 1970,is now displayed in the vault room at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, Ontario. The authenticated version or “Presentation Cup” was created in <a href="http://www.nfljerseys-supply.com/"><strong>NFL jerseys wholesale</strong></a> 1963 by Montreal silversmith Carl Petersen. NHL president Clarence Campbell felt that the original bowl was becoming too thin and fragile, and thus requested a duplicate trophy as a replacement.The Presentation Cup is authenticated by the seal of the Hockey Hall of Fame on the bottom, which can be seen when winning players lift the Cup over their heads, and it is the one currently awarded to the champions of the playoffs and used for promotions.This version was made in secret, and its production was <a href="http://www.nfljerseys-supply.com/ "><strong>cheap nba jerseys</strong></a> only revealed three years later. The replica trophy, called the “Replica Cup”, was created in 1993 by Montreal silversmith Louise St. Jacques <a href="http://www.nfljerseys-supply.com/"><strong>NHL jerseys supply</strong></a> to be used as a stand-in at the Hockey Hall of Fame whenever the Presentation Cup is not available for display. There are very few differences between the authenticated version and the replica version. The surest way to identify one version from the other is to check the engraving for the 1984 Stanley Cup winning Edmonton Oilers. The authenticated version has x’s engraved over Basil Pocklington’s name whereas his name is completely missing from the replica version.
