Hockey players play for 9 months to get to the Finals, including 2 months of playoff hockey, which is the most demanding form of the sport imaginable. 82 games, plus a maximum of 28 games to win the championship.
Every year they say the Stanley Cup is the hardest trophy to win in sports
Based on what? Like do we have ANY metrics showing this?
Because I have a hard time believing a trophy given every year is harder to win than Olympic Gold or the World Cup for instance
