The historic silver Stanley Cup undergoes a continuous structural cycle where older bands of names are retired and removed to make physical room for new championship rosters, while specific individuals have also had their names manually crossed out or removed due to disciplinary scandals or engraving corrections. On a structural level, entire bands featuring legendary eras—such as early Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs championship teams—are periodically detached and archived in the Hockey Hall of Fame as space fills up. In terms of individual disciplinary removals, the most prominent modern example occurred when the Hockey Hall of Fame and league officials permanently crossed out and obliterated the name of former Chicago Blackhawks video coach Brad Aldrich from the 2010 championship engraving following a major sexual misconduct investigation and team requests. Additionally, historical engraving errors or unauthorized family additions—such as a former team owner attempting to engrave his father's name—have occasionally been X'd out by silversmiths.
