Just the Facts About the Stanley Cup-- Part 2: How Big Is It?

The first form it had was a silver bowl just over 7 inches high and 11 inches across.  Now, the bowl is slightly bigger, 7 1/2 inches high, 11 inches across and 35 inches around.  This sits on top of the current trophy made of silver and nickel.

Below the bowl are three tiered bands, a collar and five larger bands making up the largest part of the trophy.  The whole thing stands just over 35 inches tall and weighs a little more than 34 pounds.

Just the right size for hoisting, kissing and bathing babies.
