Another new band was scheduled to be added to the bottom of the cup following the 2004–05 season, but was not added because of the 2004–05 NHL lockout. After the 2005–06 champion [[Carolina Hurricanes]] were crowned and the new bottom ring was finally added (along with the retiring of the band listing the 1940–41 to 1952–53 champions), the cancelled season was acknowledged with the words "2004–05 Season Not Played".<ref name="2004–05Recognized">{{cite web|title=Strike Up The Bands: The Stanley Cup is Stripped of a Ring; Cancelled 2004–05 Season Recognized |url=http://www.hhof.com/html/newsSCbands.shtml |publisher=[[Hockey Hall of Fame]] |access-date=February 19, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070820015012/http://www.hhof.com/html/newsSCbands.shtml |archive-date=August 20, 2007 }}</ref>
Following the crowning of the 2017–18 champions, the [[Washington Capitals]], the band listing the 1953–54 to 1964–65 winners was removed in September 2018, with a new band for the 2017–18 to 2029–30 champions added to the bottom of the cup.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.thestar.com/sports/hockey/2018/04/04/stanley-cup-saying-goodbye-to-names-of-some-of-nhls-legends-to-make-room-for-more-players.html | title=Stanley Cup saying goodbye to names of some of NHL's legends to make room for more players | first=Jimmy | last=Golen | agency=Associated Press | work=Toronto Star | date=April 4, 2018 | access-date=April 4, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2018/10/01/the-washington-capitals-are-engraved-on-the-stanley-cup-heres-all-the-names-on-it/ |title=A first look at the Washington Capitals' engraving on the Stanley Cup |first=Ian |last=Oland |website=RMNB |date=October 1, 2018 |access-date=June 13, 2019}}</ref> With the addition of the [[2022–23 Vegas Golden Knights season|2022–23 Vegas Golden Knights]] as champions, six of the thirteen spaces on the bottom ring have been used. Since the introduction of the five-band cup, each engraved team is displayed on the trophy between 52 and 65 years (though in practice, this was reduced by one year as a result of the 1953–1965 band only containing 12 teams prior to its removal), depending on the order they are engraved on the relevant band.<ref name="NHL.com-Cup evolving"/>
There have only been four official Stanley Cup engravers. The fourth and current one, Montreal silversmith Louise St. Jacques, has held the position since 1988.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.hhof.com/htmlSTCjournal/exSCJ_10.shtml | title=Stanley Cup Journals: 10 | publisher=[[Hockey Hall of Fame]] | date=June 30, 2003| access-date=July 13, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/sports/hockey/la-xpm-2012-sep-23-la-sp-kings-stanley-cup-20120924-story.html|title=The Stanley Cup: A sports trophy like no other|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=September 23, 2012}}</ref>
