That is one of the greatest traditions in sports.

I just heard the story about the oldest man to get his name on the Cup.

He was the coach for the first Rangers team to win. The goalie (back in the 20-30's teams carried only one goalie) was hit in the eye with a puck and when the opposing team would not let them pick someone out of the crowd to fill in-another funny thing about hockey at that time- the coach put on the pads and helped them win the game and they won the cup!

Cool!
