The Last Canadian Stanley Cup Victory and Its Cultural Milestones

A look at the last Canadian Stanley Cup win in 1993 and the pop culture of that era.

The Last Canadian Stanley Cup Victory and Its Cultural Milestones

It's been over 30 years since a Canadian team won the Stanley Cup. In 1992-93, the Montreal Canadiens achieved this feat. Since then, only seven Canadian teams have made the finals, but none have won.

The world was different in 1993. 'Jurassic Park' ruled the cinema, the PDF was released, Whitney Houston's 'I Will Always Love You' topped the charts, spam was born, and Doom was a gaming sensation.

The Super Bowl XXVII halftime show featured Michael Jackson's memorable performance.

These cultural milestones remind us of a bygone era when a Canadian team last held the Stanley Cup aloft.
