Jacques and is used as a stand- in at the Hall of Fame when the Presentation Cup isn’t available. But it’s one of a kind. Unlike other major league sports trophies, a new Cup isn’t made every year. Instead, after each championship, the names of the players, coaches, management, and staff of the winning team are added to the Cup. The first team to have its roster engraved was the 1.

She uses special small hammers and a series of letter stamps to strike each letter into the silver while using a metal level to keep the names as straight as possible. St. Jacques estimates that each name takes approximately a half- hour to inscribe and that it takes a non- continuous—not to mention patient—ten hours to complete every name for the winning team.
