I thinks it cool that the cup has the names of the winners on it also that there is only 1 trophy. What happen when the cup has no more space for names?
 
i always thought they took names off it each year to make room for the new ones.

But im no expert on this stuff that is what I always thought though. Probably wrong.
 
the rings with the names on them can be removed, and one is replaced with a new one and the full ring is placed in the hockley hall of fame

That would suck.

The cup I think is one of the nicest looking trophy in sports. Its pretty cool when they drink from it.

Would that be the big one at the bottom? Does that mean the top ones are there forever.

Where did you hear this? It has every name from every team that has won it.

I have never heard about old rings being removed. Do you have a link?

I found these links and quotes which implies new rings are added, but never removed.

"The Stanley Cup is two feet, 11 inches tall and weighs 34.5 pounds."

"There are more than 2,200 different names engraved on the Stanley Cup, including players, coaches and owners of the Cup-winning teams."

"Every 13 years, a new ring is added to the bottom of the Stanley Cup to add more names of the Cup's winners."

"It takes 13 years to fill the ring of the Stanley Cup with names of winners"

There is only one Stanley Cup -- "authenticated" by the seal of the Hockey Hall of Fame in the bottom of the Cup; this seal can be seen when winning players lift the Cup over their heads.

There is a second version of the Stanley Cup that remains in the Hall of Fame, which never travels, and is used for display purposes only at the Hall when the Stanley Cup is traveling; this Cup is perfect and has no misspells.

Names misspelled on the Stanley Cup -- Adam Deadmarsh was spelled Deadmarch -- but later was changed; the only misspelled name to be corrected.

Some other misspells on the Cup that never have been corrected: Jacques Plante's name has been misspelled five times, (incl. "Jocko," "Jack" and "Plant"); Bob Gainey was spelled "Gainy" when he was a player for Montreal in the 70s; Ted Kennedy was spelled "Kennedyy" in the 40s; New York Islanders was spelled "Ilanders" in 1980/81; the Toronto Maple Leafs was spelled "Leaes" in 1962/63; the Boston Bruins was spelled "Bqstqn" in 1972.

Name scratched out - "Basil Pocklington," father of former Edmonton Oilers owner, Peter, put his dad's name on the Stanley Cup in 1983/84; today, on the Cup, one can see a series of "Xs" over his name.

Yeah they remove some of the names by taking off rings off the Cup. I think they have a Hockey Hall of Fame museum in Toronto where they keep the rings that have been removed?
