some really weird traditions.None are as weird as the Legend of the Octopus.The legend began in Detroit on April 15,1952,during the Red Wings Stanley Cup playoff run.In those days,there were only six teams.In order to win the Cup,a team had to win two best-of-seven series(eight games in total).During one game,two Detroit fans threw the body of an octopus from a seafood shop onto the ice eight legs for eight needed wins.Detroit ended up winning that year,and the octopus was considered good luck.This strange Detroit tradition continued for years.In one 1995 game,fans threw thirty-six octopuses onto the ice.In yet another 1995 playoff game,two fans tossed a 38-pound(17.2 kg)octopus onto the ice.The next year,a 50-pound(22.7 kg)octopus was thrown onto the ice.This crazy tradition continues today!Stanley Cup DynastyEdmonton OilersThe Edmonton Oilers could have been mistaken for an All-Star Team from 1983 to 1990.Led by“The Great One,”Wayne Gretzky(GRET-ski),the team won five Stanley Cups during those years.Gretzky was so dominant that Boston Bruins coach Terry OReilly once said,“Hes the best.There should be a league rule that he has to be passed around from team to team every year.”Gretzky wasnt the only Oilers star,however.Six other Oilers players from that era were also inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.Years later,the team was officially awarded Dynasty status by the Hockey Hall of Fame for its long string of wins in relatively few years.In 2008,the Detroit Red Wings began using a giant inflatable octopus to kick off their games.Wayne Gretzky played in the NHL for twenty years.The Stanley Cup:Hockeys Greatest Prize Level U34Table of ContentsHockeys Greatest Prize .4Lord Stanleys Cup .5The Road to the Stanley Cup .7Notable Moments in Stanley Cup History

the St.Louis Blues 4-0.Bruins captain Bobby Orr found himself in front of the St.Louis net after passing the puck to teammate Derek Sanderson,who then passed it right back.Orr took a shot at the loose puck,and just as he watched the puck cross the goal line he was tripped by a St.Louis defenseman.The combination of being tripped and Orrs excitement caused him to fly into the air like a superhero.Photographer Ray Lussier snapped what many people say is the most famous photo in hockey history,as Orr flew through the air with his arms extended in celebration of winning the Cup.The Bruins win against the Blues brought the Cup back to Boston after a twenty-nine-year absence.1942Toronto Maple Leafs vs.Detroit Red WingsIt was the first Stanley Cup final of the“Original Six”era,and Toronto faced the ultimate odds after losing the first three games of the series to Detroit.In Game 4,Leafs coach Hap Day had to shake up the team;he benched two of his star players and replaced them with rookies to make the team work harder.His plan worked.The Leafs ended up making an amazing comeback and won the next four games.This instance was the first time a team came back from a three-game deficit in the Stanley Cup finals.When Leafs player Gaye Stewart was asked about the series,he said,“Only one word comes to mind:phenomenal.”The 1942 victory against the Detroit Red Wings ended a nine-year Stanley Cup drought for the Maple Leafs.The Stanley Cup:Hockeys Greatest Prize Level U56Lord Stanleys CupEvery year in October,talented ice warriors lace up their skates with a single goal in mind:winning hockeys greatest prize,the Stanley Cup.By the time the regular season is over in April,the real season begins.The Stanley Cup playoff season is the most exciting time of the year
