Anders,

Most of North America is in the beginning stages of their national
hockey tournaments, similar to World Cup Soccer (ok maybe not on that
big a scale). The Stanley Cup is the "prize". A 1-1.5 meter high
silver trophy that has a cup shaped top that is used to fill with
various alcoholic beverages.

I'm snickering a bit because I suppose this monstrous event(for us)
isn't even mentioned in your media. ;-}

All the best!
