However, since 1994 teams have been permitted to petition the [[NHL Commissioner]], to be considered on a case-by-case basis, to engrave a player's name on the cup if the player was unavailable to play due to "extenuating circumstances".<ref name="NHL.comFunFacts">{{cite web|url=http://www.nhl.com/cup/fun_facts.html |title=NHL.com— Stanley Cup Fun Facts |website=National Hockey League |access-date=June 21, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100810010334/http://www.nhl.com/cup/fun_facts.html |archive-date=August 10, 2010}}</ref> For example, the Detroit Red Wings received special permission from the NHL to inscribe the name of [[Vladimir Konstantinov]], whose career ended after a car accident on June 13, 1997, on the Stanley Cup after Detroit defended their title in 1998.

With the Montreal Canadiens having won by far the most Cup championships of any team, the list of the players who have been engraved on the Cup the most often is dominated by Montreal players. [[Henri Richard]] of the Canadiens, with his name engraved eleven times, played on more Stanley Cup champions than any other player. He is followed by [[Jean Béliveau|Jean Beliveau]] and [[Yvan Cournoyer]] of the Canadiens with ten championships, [[Claude Provost]] of the Canadiens with nine, and three players tied with eight: [[Red Kelly]] (four with the Red Wings, four with the Leafs, the most for any player who was not a member of the Canadiens) and Canadiens players [[Jacques Lemaire]], [[Maurice Richard]]. Beliveau's name appears on the Cup more than any other individual, ten times as a player and seven times as management for a total of seventeen times.{{sfn|Conner|2002|pp=113–114}}
