In-Season Stanley Cup

The in-season Stanley Cup will start with the Carolina Hurricanes this year. Each contest that the Stanley Cup holder plays will determine if the cup stays with the current holder or is won by the challenger. After each contest, the Stanley Cup may move or stay.

How It Works

Track the Cup Through the Season

One team holds the In-Season Stanley Cup at any given time. Whichever team beats the current holder takes the title, and the Cup keeps changing hands all season long.

There are two ways to win:

  • Final Champion: the team holding the Cup at the end of the regular season.
  • Most Wins with the Cup: the team that racks up the most wins while holding the title.
