NHL Franchises with the Most Stanley Cup Wins (All Time)

About This Dataset

NHL franchises ranked by total Stanley Cup championship wins from the inaugural 1917 season through the 2024–25 season, according to official NHL records. The Montreal Canadiens' record of 24 Stanley Cup championships is the most of any franchise in the history of North American professional sport in terms of championship titles in a single league — built across eras spanning the dynasty teams of the 1950s under Maurice Richard and Rocket Richard, the dominant 1960s sides anchored by Jean Béliveau, and the back-to-back champions of 1976–1979 under Scotty Bowman that many hockey historians regard as the finest team ever assembled, a run of success that no NHL franchise has come close to matching in the half-century since.
