Half the things on the original bowl were not engraved but scratched in by the players, often while sitting in taverns. Some were done with an ice pick, or a pen knife. It was a battered old thing. There were about a dozen years when people would scratch things on it. |
I did an awful lot of Bobby Orr. He won just about every trophy possible. He was only a kid when he started playing with the Boston Bruins. His name on the shields when he started was Robert Orr. Five years later, all his trophies were brought back to have the name changed. I removed the old shields and replaced them with new ones which said, Bobby Orr. How fame changes your name. |
It is one of the most beautiful trophies. |
