Who is the Stanley Cup named after?

  1. Lord Kensington

  2. Lord Stanley

  3. Lord Livingston

  4. Lord Barrington

The correct answer is: Lord Stanley

The Stanley Cup is named after Lord Stanley, who was the Governor General of Canada from 1888 to 1893. This is because he purchased the trophy in 1892 to be awarded to the top amateur hockey team in Canada. The other options listed, Lord Kensington, Lord Livingston, and Lord Barrington, are not connected to the creation or naming of the Stanley Cup.
