Engraving notes

• #17 Jari Kurri (RW) was the first Finnish-born-trained player to win the Stanley Cup.
• #31 Grant Fuhr (G) was the first black player to win the Stanley Cup.
• #10 Jaroslav Pouzar (LW) was the first Czechoslovak-born player to win the Stanley Cup.
• ^{^[A]} Basil Pocklington, father of Oilers owner Peter Pocklington, was initially engraved on the Stanley Cup. He was not directly associated with the team. The NHL subsequently marked out Basil's name on the trophy with X's. A new ring for the Cup was created in 1993, with winners from 1979 to 1991, but Basil Pocklington's name was not on it. When the Cup returned to the Hockey Hall of Fame, the abandoned ring had been damaged and could not be put back on the Stanley Cup. The Hockey Hall of Fame had Basil Pocklington's name put on the newly created Stanley Cup ring, then XXX'd out his name again. He was now listed beside his son Peter Pocklington, Owner. On the original rings, he was listed on a line between Peter Pocklington and Glen Sather. Basil's name was not added to the replica Stanley Cup also created in 1993. This is the main way people can tell the difference between the Presentation Stanley Cup and the Replica Stanley Cup. See 2004 Stanley Cup Final for the other way to tell the cups apart. Basil Pocklington was the only name that was XXX'd out until November 2021, when the Hall of Fame struck the name of 2009–10 Chicago Blackhawks video coach Brad Aldrich due to sexual assault allegations during that season.^[4]
• On the new ring, EDMONTON was misspelt "DDMONTON". An "E" was stamped twice over the first "D" to correct the mistake.

Player notes

• Each team was required to play 20 players out of a 24-man roster. The Oilers engraved 21 players' names on the Cup, leaving off four players who were dressed in the playoffs. All four players left off the Stanley Cup were awarded a Stanley Cup ring and are included on the team picture.
  • #33 Mike Zanier^ (G) – was dressed for two games in the final. He qualified to be engraved on the Stanley Cup. Edmonton did not include his name because he had not played in the NHL. The only NHL season for Zanier was 3 games in 1985 with the Oilers.
  • #6 Rick Chartraw (D) – played four games for the NY Rangers, 24 for Edmonton, and one playoff game, spending half of the regular season playing in the minors. (He is on the Stanley Cup with Montreal 1976-77-78-79.)
  • #28 Larry Melnyk (D) – played six playoff games (4 in the Conference Finals), but spent the regular season playing in the minors.
  • #25 Raimo Summanen – (LW) played two games in the regular season and five playoff games. He spent most of the regular season playing in Europe.
