The Stanley Cup is the oldest professional sports trophy in North America and it is named after Lord Stanley of Preston, the 1892 Governor General of Canada. After he became interested in the sport, he donated the Cup to award Canada’s amateur hockey club. The trophy is awarded annually to the playoff champion club of the National Hockey League.

It was the first established hockey club. We have been accepted and ‘rightfully’ exist as the oldest club for 160 years, it’s a bit late to change that now. So, it’s a fact that Gentlemen of Blackheath were hitting a spherical object with bent sticks in 1861 and it was called a Hockey Club. We played hockey as it was known then and as it had been known for decades before. We continued to play against various other clubs in the 10 years prior to 1871 when Teddington HC was formed. We have played hockey ever since. According to the book “Hockey” written in 1899 by P.A. Robson and J. Nicholson-Smith, the publication states: “This club was formed not later than the year 1840. This fact was endorsed by Neville Miroy in “The History of Hockey” published by Lifeline Ltd for the Hockey Association Centenary in 1986. Miroy states: “The first Hockey Club was undoubtedly Blackheath”
