engraving-notes=
* Don Awrey played 72 regular-season games, and John Van Boxmeer played 46 games. Neither player played in the playoffs so their names were not included on the Stanley Cup. The official rules says that players must play in the playoffs to be included on the Stanley Cup. This rule was not followed very well. Players who played in playoffs were often left off, and many players who did not play in the playoffs were still engraved on it. NHL was so upset they changed the rules, saying any player who plays 40 or more regular season games for the winning team, or 1 game in the Stanley Cup must be included. However, Awrey and Boxmeer were not added to the cup for 1976. Awrey's name is on the cup in 1970, 1972 with Boston. Boxmeer's name does appear on the Stanley Cup.
* Between 1976 and 1985 A (Assistant Captain) was no longer marked on the players sweets. Only the Captain was marked with a C.|
