Will the Edmonton Oilers Bring Stanley Home in 2025?

Edmonton Oilers Stanley Cup 2025

Elbows up! Canada is taking on the U.S. with hockey sticks, not tariffs. This leads to the question: Could Stanley come home? And could he come home without a tariff?

The Stanley Cup hasn’t been home to Canada since 1993.

The Edmonton Oilers tried to bring Stanley home last year but fell short. The Oilers are trying again this year against the Florida Panthers.

Who wants Stanley this year?

Edmonton won Game 1 in a 4-3 victory over the Panthers with the sudden-death winner on a power play at 19:29 of the first overtime period at Rogers Place on Wednesday.

The Oilers and the Florida Panthers are repeats in this year’s NHL’s Stanley Cup final. Edmonton lost to the Panthers in 2024, 4 games to 3 in the best-of-seven final, leaving Stanley in the American team’s hands.

This year’s Cup is likely to bring out a lot of more patriotism north of the border due to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff war with Canada.

To be polite in a Canadian way: Please come home, Stanley.

Where has Stanley been all these years?

The last time Stanley came home was in 1993 when the Montreal Canadiens won their 24th NHL championship.

Since 1994, Stanley has stayed south of the border. For the warmer weather? Stanley was born and bred in the cold and snow. The first Stanley Cup was awarded to the Montreal Hockey Club in 1893.

Edmonton hasn’t been without Stanley in its history.

The Oilers have won 5 Stanley Cups, the last one in 1990, their fifth in seven years.

Before that hockey superstar Wayne Gretzky led the Edmonton Oilers to victory in 1984, 1985, 1987, and 1988.

The Oilers have been close to bringing home the Cup in recent years. Edmonton lost in Game 7 in 2006 to the Carolina Hurricanes.

Why hasn’t Stanley come home? We want him back!

Only one team can win the Stanley Cup and the odds of it being a Canadian team are low. The United States has 25 NHL teams to Canada's seven so that means Stanley has dual citizenship and is probably feeling like a bit more of a Yankee now.

That’s okay. We know where the Cup is from. Stanley is part of our family. Hockey is still our game.

If there’s a Game 7 that’s needed this year, it will be at home in Edmonton on Friday, June 20.

How did the ‘Stanley, please come home’ campaign originate?

The "Please, Stanley, come home" campaign started as a grassroots, fan-driven expression of longing by Canadian hockey fans for the Stanley Cup to be won by a Canadian NHL team.

A letter using the phrase was published in the Ottawa Sun on June 13, 2024, expressing the longing for the Stanley Cup to return to Canada after being away for more than three decades.

Son of famed Canadiens coach Scotty Bowman may have a hand in getting Stanley home

Scotty Bowman’s son, Stan, is the general manager of the Edmonton Oilers. When Scotty Bowman won Stanley for the first time as coach of the Montreal Canadiens on May 10, 1973, he and his wife, Suella, were expecting a child. They decided if they had a son, he’d be named Stanley, reported nhl.com. Son San was born on June 28, 1973.

Why is Edmonton’s Connor McDavid famous? Can he help bring Stanley home?

Connor McDavid scored the winning goal in the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off championship game. He scored the overtime goal at 8:18, giving Canada a 3-2 victory over the Americans. The Canadian victory came at a time when tensions were high at the beginning of the trade war with the United States. The win was like a moral victory for Canada.

McDavid is also famous for being one of the most dominant and skilled hockey players in the world. He was the first overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft by the Edmonton Oilers and quickly established himself as a generational talent. He is known for his speed and scoring ability.

How many Canadians are on the Oilers in 2025?

There are 20 Canadians on the Edmonton Oilers 2024-2025 roster.

How many Canadians play on the Panthers?

The total main roster of Canadian-born players is 8.

To sum it all up

Stanley, we need you to come home this time, eh?

Go Oilers, go!

5 FAQs

How old is the Stanley Cup?

How many versions of the Stanley Cup are there?

There are three Stanley Cups: the original Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup that’s on display in the Hockey Hall of Fame, the Presentation Cup awarded to the winning team, and a replica of the Presentation Cup used for the annual NHL award ceremony and travels with the Stanley Cup winning team.

Does the Stanley Cup travel a lot?

Yes, the Stanley Cup spends about 300 days a year travelling the world with players and staff from the winning team, visiting over 25 countries and being displayed at charitable events and public ceremonies.

Has the Stanley Cup been involved in unusual celebrations?

Stanley has been taken to strip clubs, used as a baptismal font, and has had mortgage documents burned in it.

Is the Stanley Cup heavy?

The Stanley Cup is considered heavy. The current version stands 35.25 inches (about 89.5 cm) tall and weighs approximately 34.5 pounds (15.6 kg). Despite its weight, players usually hoist it over their heads with apparent ease during championship celebrations.
