"The thoughts of millions of ice hockey fans turned to SILVER this week – more specifically, to the nearly 35 pounds of silver in the National Hockey League's Stanley Cup, the century-old championship symbol of professional hockey. The Los Angeles Kings ultimately lifted high the iconic trophy made of sterling SILVER.
According to Michael DiRIENZO, Executive Director of the Silver Institute, the Stanley Cup is just one of many diverse sports trophies around the world which share a common theme. They are all made of SILVER.
"The fact is that silver has been the prize of champions since antiquity. There is evidence of SILVER trophies being awarded to triumphant athletes in Ancient Rome and Greece. But it became the trophy of choice in America in the 18th and 19th centuries to honor the outstanding performances in horse racing, boating and early auto racing," he said.
Among the most famous examples is the ornate sterling SILVER America's Cup, which for 125 years was proudly displayed at the New York Yacht Club, the home of the champions of the yachting world. Now under the stewardship of California's Golden Gate Yacht Club, the America's Cup will be awarded to the winner of the famed international yachting competition in San Francisco in July 2013.
"Also, next February, the Vince Lombardi Trophy, the SILVER embodiment of American football greatness, will be given to the winner of the National Football League's Super Bowl, the title now held by the New York Giants," said DiRIENZO, who added that the top prizes in tennis, in auto racing, in basketball, in English Football and in many other sports around the world are trophies made of sterling SILVER, emblematic of the best in the field.
There are other examples, including the Borg-Warner Trophy, given to the winner of the Indianapolis 500, and Major League Baseball's Commissioner's Trophy, awarded to baseball's World Series champion, as well as the National Basketball Association's Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy, the symbol of basketball primacy. All are SILVER, representing the pinnacle of achievement"...
