Every year since 2018, Tokens has been entrusted with crafting the Stanleys, awards that are presented during the NHL's yearly summer club meetings to acknowledge team accomplishment.
In November 2025, the NHL once again approached Tokens and asked us to craft an additional five Stanleys that, rather being presented to a team, would be given to individuals who had achieved important milestones in their careers at the NHL.
This Stanley was engraved with specific copy given to us and the recipient's name beneath.
Of course, Tokens agreed, but in order to differentiate between a regular Stanley, which are 13" tall, and these Milestone Stanleys, we asked if the Milestone Stanleys could be two inches shorter, to which the NHL agreed.
Left: a regular Stanley Award (unengraved), given to teams. Right: a Milestone Stanley.
Though the NHL informed us that no particular box was necessary, we felt that it needed something.
We opted for a black drawstring pouch and to go even further, had it embroidered with the recipient's name in bright orange thread.
Accompanying each Milestone Stanley are an embroidered drawstring pouch and a pair of white handling gloves.
