The historic silver Stanley Cup is famous for featuring hundreds of engraved names of players, coaches, and staff members, alongside numerous amusing typographical errors and misspellings incurred by silversmiths over generations. Among the most famously recurring mistakes in the history of the trophy involves legendary Hall of Fame goaltender Jacques Plante, who dominated the crease and won the Stanley Cup across five consecutive seasons during his historic career. Because his name was hand-engraved year after year during successive championship runs, errors and variations in the spelling of his name appeared on the trophy across multiple consecutive years, making his engraving history a favorite piece of trivia for hockey historians who track silver mishaps. These human errors highlight the rustic, traditional craftsmanship of the trophy before modern digital engraving standards were adopted.
