Has a NHL team ever won the Stanley cup that did not have a CANADIAN Captain?

Answer 1

After looking through it. There are 3 Cup Champ Captains not born in Canada.

1933-34 Blackhawks, Charlie Gardiner, born in Scotland
1937-38 Blackhawks, John Gottselig, born in Russia
1998-99 Stars, Derian Hatcher, born in Michigan

1999, when American Derian Hatcher, who was born in Sterling Heights, Mich., hoisted the Cup with the Dallas Stars.

To find another team that won the Stanley Cup with a captain who wasn't born in Canada, you have to go all the way back to 1938, when Johnny Gottselig, who was born in Odessa, Russia, led the Chicago Blackhawks to victory. But Gottselig, a left-winger who played nearly 600 games for the Blackhawks between 1928 and 1946, was actually more Canadian than Russian, coming to this country in his youth and becoming a junior star with the Regina Pats.

When the Blackhawks won their first Stanley Cup in 1934, their captain was goaltender Charlie (Chuck) Gardiner, who was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. But at age 7, Gardiner moved to Winnipeg with his family. Nicknamed The Wee Scott, Gardiner suffered a brain hemorrhage only weeks after winning the Cup and died on June 13, 1934. He was 29.

Answer 2

Wow. Great answer HABITANT.

I was going to answer Hatcher, having witnessed him raising the Cup firsthand.

By the way - the Hull goal SHOULD have been a good goal, but according to the rules in effect in 1998-99 WAS NOT.

NO GOAL!

Go Sabres.
