But that's a completely different story. You'll have to dig up the story that Mark Brender and I did on the ownership of the Stanley Cup about three or four years ago..

gruven 530 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 http://www.lawyersweekly.ca/index.php?sect...mp;articleid=94Very nice research.......... I worked with Gilbert LLP on this...... they eventually forced the NHL into an out of court settlement that saw the NHL ship millions to amateur hockey in Canada... Link to post Share on other sites
coesillian 0 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 The application raises interesting issues for the NHL. If the Stanley Cup is not a charitable purpose trust, then the trust fails and the property reverts to the grantor, and outside the control of the NHL. As Lord Stanley was Governor General when he gave the cup, the cup may revert back to the Office of the Governor General. In this way the cup may truly belong to the people of Canada. Very nice research.......... I worked with Gilbert LLP on this...... they eventually forced the NHL into an out of court settlement that saw the NHL ship millions to amateur hockey in Canada...what does that mean that they shipped millions to Canadian Hockey. Does Canada own the rights to the cup? If there were to be another lock-out/ strike, could the cup be contended for outside the NHL? Link to post Share on other sites
gruven 530 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Yes, it could be contended for outside the NHL. And, an interesting sidebar that we never got the chance to explore: If the Stanley Cup was purchased out of the household expense money of the governor general (lord stanley), then it would STILL be the property of the Canadian Government. The prime minister is a hockey historian who is writing a book, and I mentioned this to him while chatting, and he said he was going to follow it up. He would have access to those old records and accounts... Link to post Share on other sites
