US EditionStanley Cup Final for old men: Brad Marchand and Corey Perry shine on hockey's biggest stage
- Corey Perry celebrated his 40th birthday during the Edmonton Oilers' playoff run, making him the most senior competitor in this season's Stanley Cup tournament.
- Perry won his first Stanley Cup with the Ducks in 2007, but has lost in four of the last five Finals he appeared in, making a second title elusive.
- If Perry and the Oilers defeat the Florida Panthers, he would rank among the oldest athletes to secure a Stanley Cup title, although the record is held by Chris Chelios, who won at age 46 in 2008.
- Other notable older Stanley Cup champions include Mark Recchi and Dominik Hasek, who won titles at age 43, and Ray Bourque, who won his only Cup at 40 after a 21-year drought.
- Perry's continued presence in the Finals highlights the rarity and significance of players competing effectively at 40 or older in the NHL playoffs today.
