The Stanley Cup & the University of Notre Dame


It's the greatest trophy in all of professional sport -- the National Hockey League's Stanley Cup.  Since 1893, only five former Notre Dame students have had their names etched on the Cup:
  • 1976, 1977 and 1978:  Bill Nyrop, Montreal Canadiens
  • 1984 and 1985:  Don Jackson, Edmonton Oilers
  • 2008:  Brett Lebda, Detroit Red Wings
  • 2009:  Mark Eaton, Pittsburgh Penguins
  • 2010:  Stan Bowman, Chicago Blackhawks

The 2012 Stanley Cup begins tomorrow night as the Los Angeles Kings take on the New Jersey Devils.
