I love hockey! I hope my team wins a Stanley Cup! It's the oldest professional sports trophy in North America.
I'm not too familiar with hockey. What's your team?
My favorite team is the Pittsburgh Penguins. They are a team based in Pennsylvania.
I've never heard of them. The Nashville Predators is the only team I'm somewhat familiar with.
Oh I see. They were founded in 1967, but I don't hear too many people talk about them.
I didn't realize that hockey has been around so long, especially for the Stanley Cup to be the oldest professional sports trophy.
Yes, the Stanley Cup was originally comissioned in 1892 as the "Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup" an named after Lord Stanley of Preston.
