About this page

NHL era only: Cup Finals from 1917–18 on. Earlier Cups were won outside the NHL and are not counted here.
No champion is recorded for 1918–19 and 2004–05 (a cancelled final and a lockout).
A club from outside the NHL’s own team list (an earlier pro league) shows its abbreviation instead of a name.
Names and teams link only where this site has a page for them.
