Stanley Cup Dynasties, unveiled in conjunction with NHL Zone, includes reverent displays to the rosters of nine teams which lorded over the NHL for extended periods of time, allowing these clubs to be considered 'Dynasties'.
The Ottawa Senators of the 1920's, the Toronto Maple Leafs of the 1940's and sixties, the Detroit Red Wings of the early-fifties, the Montreal Canadiens of the late-fifties, the sixties and the 1970's, the New York Islanders of the early-eighties, and Edmonton's Oilers of the late-1980's are heralded in this area, which also includes a unique, floor-to-ceiling engraved Stanley Cup "Bands" of Champions wall and a timeline of the Stanley Cup's illustrious history.

The Montreal Canadiens replica dressing room is also featured in this zone, and for a limited time, is specially designed to honour the 100 seasons of Montreal Canadiens hockey. The faithfully recreated dressing room depicts the renowned space within the Montreal Forum which was home to 23 Stanley Cup champions between 1924 and its closing in 1996.
Above the celebrated names displayed in the dressing room is a passage from John McCrae's poem "In Flanders Fields" "to you from failing hands we throw the torch be yours to hold it high" which gives visitors a further sense of the Canadiens' proud tradition. The experience is augmented by a reflective look at Montreal Canadiens' artifacts representing the team's great tradition and Stanley Cup legacy.
