There are several misspellings and illegitimate names on the Cup. Many of them have never been corrected. Examples include:[2][44][46]
* Pat McReavy's name is misspelled "McCeavy" as a member of the 1941 Boston Bruins. * Dickie Moore won six cups, his name was spelled differently five times (D. Moore, Richard Moore, R. Moore, Dickie Moore, Rich Moore). * Glenn Hall's name was misspelled as "Glin"" in 1951-52. * Bob Gainey was spelled "Gainy" when he was a player for Montreal in the 1970s. * Ted Kennedy was spelled "Kennedyy" in the 1940s. * Toronto Maple Leafs was spelled "Leaes" in 1963. * Boston Bruins was spelled "Bqstqn" in 1972. * New York Islanders was spelled "Ilanders" in 1981. * One name was later scratched out: Peter Pocklington, a former Edmonton Oilers owner, put his father's name, Basil, on the Stanley Cup in 1984; today, there is a series of "X's" over Basil's name. * In 1996, Colorado Avalanche's Adam Deadmarsh's last name was spelled "Deadmarch". It was later corrected, marking the first correction on the Cup. Similar corrections were made in 2002 and 2006 for the names of Detroit Red Wings goalie Manny Legace ("Lagace") and Carolina Hurricanes forward Eric Staal ("Staaal".)

I'd be pissed if my name was misspelled on the cup.

One can only hope they spelled Crosby- "Cunt".
