The Stanley Cup, originally a decorative bowl forged in Sheffield, England but purchased from London silversmith G.R. Collis and Company (now Boodles and Dunthorne Jewelers), worth ten guineas ($48.67 USD), was donated in 1892 by Lord Stanley, Governor General of Canada, who had become enamoured with ice hockey. From wikipedia

To Answer your question:

Gretzky beat Vancouver Canucks goaltender Glen Hanlon to score his first NHL goal on a power play at 18:51 of the third period. 1979-1980 season (assuming your talking about his first NHL goal ever?)

I also read that he scored at age six playing on a 10 & under team but I don't know what team he played for or if it was his first ever. Doubt it.

RE: Simple Trivia Game

Well Belfour I have heard that figure other places including on a Stanley Cup special on TV the other night so I believe it to be accurate. Sometimes it pays to do a little research and not just believe a single source.

Here's a Canadian Link for YA' eh!

The gold-lined, silver bowl was ready for the 1892-93 season. (Stanley paid for it out of his own pocket. It cost him $48.67.) Initially called the Dominion Challenge Cup, it soon took the name of its donor.

Quote:

Lord Stanley had an aide purchase the trophy for 10 guineas ($48.67 at that time) in London for presentation to the amateur hockey champions of Canada. Since 1910, when the National Hockey Association took possession of the Stanley Cup, the trophy has been the symbol of professional hockey supremacy.

The original trophy cost $48.67 and was purchased the previous year by Sir Frederick Arthur Stanley, Lord Stanley of Preston.

And feel free to watch the video too.

And for my Question:

Which first year player put the puck in his teams net and cost them the cup (player & team) (hint: the very next year he was first to skate the cup)?
