Stanley Cup by the numbers

1,331 -- Players who have won the Stanley Cup. Of those players, 767 have won it once and 564 have won it twice or more. 1926-27

40622 player*seasons since 1926-27 (41071 since 1917-1918 )

http://www.nhl.com/stats/player?agg...r=gamesPlayed,gte,1&sort=points,goals,assists (6961)

It is getting harder to win the Stanley cup now as there was only 6 teams, now there is 31.

1331/40,622 = 3.2%.


1331/6961= 19.12%

Stanley Cup by the numbers

24 -- Championships won by the Montreal Canadiens, the most of any NHL team.

 

[ledzeppelinfan1]

About 20 percent.

1331 players have won the Cup. About 6500 players have played in the league.

 

[Dondini]

About 20 percent.

1331 players have won the Cup. About 6500 players have played in the league.

These numbers are wrong

About 20 percent.

Fixed it.
My 40,000 wasn't players it was players x seasons. (oops).

6961 have played in the league while the cup existed.

The best predictor must be years played in the NHL.

I wonder what the percentages would be per expansion era.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Huh, 80% of past and present NHL players are losers, according to some.

Only according to you so far

 

[LeHab]

1331/6961= 19.12%

For players going forward with 31 and soon to be 32 teams chances will be much smaller.

Only according to you so far

Huh? A lot of people use not winning a cup as a negative against a players abilities, happens regularly, I am not one of those people. If you don’t know what I mean see any conversation about the legacy of Joe Thornton or Daniel and Henrik Sedin.

Must’ve been a criminally low percentage for players whose careers spanned 1976-1990.
