The year 1993 was the 100th anniversary of the 1st awarding of the Stanley Cup in 1893.
The 1993 Stanley Cup Final series was contested by the Los Angeles Kings and the Montreal Canadiens to decide the NHL championship for the 1992–93 season. It was the 1st appearance in the Final for the Kings, and the 34th for Montreal, their first since the 1989 Final. The Canadiens won the series 4 games to 1 to win the team's 24th Stanley Cup.
Montreal goaltender Patrick Roy won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the Most Valuable Player / MVP of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the 2nd time (he won it for the 1st time in 1986).
This would be the last Stanley Cup Final series to be played in the Montreal Forum, and the last time Wayne Gretzky would play in the Finals as well. Gretzky was trying to become the 1st player to captain two teams to the Stanley Cup, having led the Edmonton Oilers to Stanley Cup championships in 1984, 1985, 1987, and 1988. It was Montreal's first trip to the Finals since 1989, when they lost to the Oilers' provincial rivals, the Calgary Flames. Meanwhile, it was the 1st-ever trip to the Finals for the Kings in their 26-year history.
The 1993 Montreal Canadiens are also the last Stanley Cup championship team to be composed solely of North American-born players.
