Everybody knows the NHL's biggest trophy by far is the Stanley cup. The cup has a long and storied history. In it's time, it has been
-drop kicked into the Rideau Canal (which was fortunately frozen at the time)
-used as a dog's food dish
-used as a latrine
-to the bottom of more than one swimming pool
-stolen and recovered several times
-forgotten in a snow bank on the side of the road
-used as a flower pot
-used in a baptism
