The following Bruins players and staff had their names engraved on the Stanley Cup 1940–41 Boston Bruins *1 Frank Brimsek *2 Bill Flash Hollett 5 Aubrey Dit Clapper (Captain) 6 Jack Crawford 8 Des Smith † 11–12 Jack Shewchuk* 19 Terry Reardon *10 Bill Cowley 12 Pat McReavy ‡ 15 Milt Schmidt 16 Art Jackson *4 Herb Cain 7 Eddie Wiseman 9 Roy Conacher 11 Mel Hill 14 Woody Porky Dumart 17 Bobby Bauer Weston Adams Sr. (President/Owner), Art Ross (Vice President/Manager) Ralph Burkard (Treasurer), Ralph Cooney Weiland (Coach) Win Green (Trainer) * #11–12 Jack Shewchuk (D) played 22 of 48 regular season games, but was not dressed in the playoffs. He was originally left off the cup. Shewchuk's name was added to the cup when it was redone during 1957–58, but not Gordie Bruce. † #8 Des Smith (D) was engraved as WES SMITH with a "W" instead of a "D". This mistake was corrected when the Stanley Cup was redone during the 1957–58 Season. ‡ #12 Pat McReavy (C) was misspelled PAT McCREAVY with an extra "C" on the new version of the cup created during the 1957–58 season. Pat McReavy was often misspelled as Pat McCreavy on some team pictures with the Boston Bruins. When the Replica Cup was created in 1992–93, Pat McReavy's name was misspelled again as Pat McCeavy with a "C" instead of a "R". Frank Ryan (Publicity Director) was included on 1929, 1939, and 1941 Stanley Cup pictures, but his name is not engraved on the Stanley Cup. Gordie Bruce (LW) was originally credited with playing 8 regular season games and 3 playoff games. Bruce's stats were corrected to only 7 regular season games and no playoff games. He did not qualify, so his name was left off the Stanley Cup.
