Florida Panthers celebrate the next triumph: Stanley Cup 2025!

Florida, USA - On June 18, 2025, the Florida Panthers won the Stanley Cup by winning 5: 1 in the decisive game (Game Six) against the Edmonton Oilers. The Panthers successfully defend their title from the previous year and celebrate their second championship victory in NHL history. The joy of this triumphant success should be great for both the players and fans.

The Stanley Cup is the oldest and most sought -after trophy in ice hockey that has been awarded since 1893. The prestigious cup has been played exclusively in the National Hockey League (NHL) since 1947. This trophy has a rich history that goes back to her foundation by Lord Stanley of Preston, the former Governor of General of Canada. Originally known as the Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup, the Stanley Cup was awarded in its first version of amateur teams.

The championship structure of the Stanley Cup

The structure of the Stanley Cup has developed over the years. From 1913 an agreement between the National Hockey Association (NHA) and the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA), which enabled the respective masters, started playing the Cup in an annual series. Since 1926 the Stanley Cup became the de facto championship trophy of the NHL. Since then, the format of the playoffs, which ultimately lead to determining the champion, has received several adjustments. Currently it is a best-of-Seven series that has been used since 1939.

statistics and records in the Stanley Cup

With a look at significant records, the fascination of the Stanley Cup becomes clear. The franchise with most final participants is the Montreal Canadiens, which have impressively played in the final round 33 times. On the other hand, the Boston Bruins stand for most final defeats with a total of 14. Play statistics are also remarkable: Henri Richard leads the list of the most successful players with 11 titles, while Wayne Gretzky keeps outstanding records in terms of points and assists.

In recent years there have been not only exciting games, but also dramatic turning points. The Stanley Cup was not awarded in two years, 1919 and 2005, which could add an additional layer of historical challenges to the competition. However, the focus remains on this year's champion, the Florida Panthers, who not only defended their title with their victory, but also shape the history of the NHL.
