The Montreal Canadiens have won the Stanley Cup a record 24 times. Since 1893, there have been only two years without a Stanley Cup winner: 1919 and 2005. The trophy is named after Lord Stanley of Preston, a Canadian governor general appointed by Queen Victoria. Lord Stanley promoted amateur hockey competitions in Canada during the 19th century.
