Stanley Cup Tickets

Congratulations to all the participants in the National Hockey League Playoff series, and especially to the Detroit Red Wings, the 2008 winners of the Stanley Cup! It took six hard-fought games, but the Red Wings finally defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Stanley Cup is easily one of the most coveted awards in professional sports, as well as one of the most popular events. This year’s race to the cup is well underway and more exciting than ever. The Predators have already lost to the Red Wings, though the Flames and the Sharks are still duking it out to see who’ll take them on. The Avalance neatly took out the Wild 4 games to 2, and the Stars surprised some diehard Ducks fans by beating last year’s Stanley Cup winners 4 games to 2. The Canadiens, who started out with the best record in the conference, beat the Bruins 4-3, the Rangers knocked the Devils out of contention, and the Penguins crushed the Senators an embarrassing 4 games to none, leaving only the Capitals and the Flyers to fight for the semi-finals. The longer you wait the fewer tickets you’ll have to choose from, so don’t wait, get your 2008 Stanley Cup tickets today!

The Stanley Cup, the oldest trophy competed for by professional athletes in North America, was donated by Frederick Arthur, Lord Stanley of Preston and son of the Earl of Derby, in 1893. Since 1910, when the National Hockey Association took possession of the Stanley Cup, the trophy has been the symbol of professional hockey supremacy. It has been competed for only by NHL teams since 1926 and has been under the exclusive control of the NHL since 1946.
