In 1929, Boston Bruins player-coach Cy Denneny's name was listed on the Cup twice (once as a player and once as a coach), with one being spelled correctly and the other as "Cy Dennenny".
In 1952, Detroit Red Wings' coach Tommy Ivan's last name was mis-spelled as "Nivan", and Alex Delvecchio's last name was misspelled as "Belvecchio".
In 1964, the Toronto Maple Leafs was misspelled as "Toronto Maple Leaes"; the Montreal Canadiens was mis-spelled as "Montreal Canadiene" two years later; and in 1981, the New York Islanders were identified as the "New York Ilanders".
In 1972, the Boston Bruins was spelled with Qs instead of Os — "Bqstqn".
Some other misspellings on the Cup that never have been corrected: Jacques Plante's name, in the 1950s has been misspelled five out of six times (including "Jocko," "Jack" and "Plant"); Bob Gainey was spelled "Gainy" when he was a player for Montreal in the 1970s; Ted Kennedy of Toronto was spelled "Kennedyy" in the 1940s
In 1984, Oilers owner Peter Pocklington included his father, Basil Pocklington, on the trophy. However, as Basil had no connection to the team, his name was X'ed out.
In 1996, Colorado Avalanche forward Adam Deadmarsh's last name was misspelled as "Deadmarch". It was later corrected, the first time a correction had been made. Six years later, Detroit Red Wings' goaltender Manny Legace's last name was misspelled "Lagace", and was also corrected.

@Casey all 3 basically performed interior the 60s or 70s. None performed interior the 80s. @Jeff, in accordance to wikipedia 2 of the sutter brothers have been C, 2 have been LW and a pair of have been RW. If wikipedia is incorrect, then: Darryl (listed as LW): Chicago Blackhawks seventy 9-87; Duane (listed as C): Chicago Blackhawks 87-ninety; Brent (listed as C): ninety one-ninety 8. And wealthy even performed there (listed as RW) from ninety 3-ninety 5. i'm not sure how the ninety to ninety one works from Duane to Brent, or if the positions experience up, yet that's my superb guess...
