Notice
TheStanleyCap.com is still in development. New features will be added as they are completed. I hope to have basic functionally and all contracts in the database for the start of the season or very shortly thereafter. Follow us on Bluesky or Twitter for updates.Currently 3 teams have all their contracts entered. Calgary, Nashville, Florida, Buffalo, Detroit, Ottawa and Montreal. The contract database is growing quickly and more teams will be completed soon.
Have a look at the About page for my vision for and how you can support The Stanley Cap. Constructive comments/feedback is welcome. Thank-you.
