Stanley Cup Tickets

Congratulations to all the participants in the National Hockey League Playoff series, and especially to the Pittsburgh Penguins, the 2009 winners of the Stanley Cup and Evgeni Malkin, Playoffs MVP! It took seven hard-fought games, but the Penguins finally defeated the Detroit Red Wings.

It came down to the same final two contenders as last season: the Detroit Red Wings and the Pittsburgh Penguins. To get there, Detroit had to get past the Chicago Blackhawks, while Pittsburgh needed to knock off the Carolina Hurricanes. The Penguins’ win marks the first time in 25 years that a team has won the Stanley Cup after losing the finals the year before. It was heart-pounding NHL action at its best and though it may have been exciting to watch on TV, there’s no substitute for seeing it live. The 2010 Stanley Cup Finals will be just as thrilling and Coast to Coast will have the tickets to get your there.

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.
