It was revealed this week the band covering the Stanley Cup champions from 1953-54 to 1964-65 has been removed from Lord Stanley's gift to hockey and placed in the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.
In a tweet by Kelly Masse, the Director of Corporate and Media Relations at the Hall, she wrote, "It's the second band to come off, keeping it to the current size. Next time a band comes off will be the year 2030."

Above is a photograph I took of the now removed band while researching my book on Bob Goldham. Upon taking a close look, you will discover that for Detroit's 1953-54 Cup win, Goldham's name is engraved as Robert Goldham. The following year, the Red Wings repeated as Cup champions, but Goldham's first name appears as Bob.
This makes for an interesting trivia question when discussing the Cup.
The above two photos show the band that was removed and the display case it will occupy at the Hockey Hall of Fame. Photo Credit: Hockey Hall of Fame.
