The historic Stanley Cup features the engraved names of thousands of players, coaches, managers, and executives, and that legacy proudly includes multiple pioneering women who helped lead their respective franchises to glory. In total, more than a dozen women have had their names permanently etched onto the silver chalice. The very first female executive to have her name engraved on the Stanley Cup was Marguerite Norris, who served as the president of the Detroit Red Wings when the franchise captured back-to-back championships in 1954 and 1955. Other prominent female owners and executives—such as Sonia Scurfield of the Calgary Flames in 1989, Marie Denise DeBartolo York of the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1991, and several members of the Ilitch family for the Detroit Red Wings dynasty—have also had their names permanently inscribed on the trophy, cementing their vital leadership contributions to hockey history.
