Who is the Stanley Cup named after?
Stanley Hudson, a prominent ice hockey player
Lord Stanley, the Governor General
Stanley Matthews, a British sportsman
Stanley Morgan, an influential coach
The correct answer is: Lord Stanley, the Governor General
The Stanley Cup is named after Lord Stanley, who was the Governor General of Canada at the time the Cup was first awarded in 1893. Option A, Stanley Hudson, is a fictional character from the TV show "The Office" and is not a real person. Option C, Stanley Matthews, was a British football player and has no connection to ice hockey. Option D, Stanley Morgan, is an influential coach but he is not the namesake of the Stanley Cup. Therefore, the most accurate answer is B, Lord Stanley.
