How have they not ran out of room for the names yet?
When one of the “rings” fills up, a new one is placed on the Cup and the oldest one is removed.

Chrono of Cup engraving
Here's the history. Your name lasts 50 years plus. That should mostly cover it.

I also don't understand why you start dumb threads like this.

Lionel Conacher and Carl Voss are the only two athletes whose names are engraved on both the Stanley Cup and the Grey Cup.
Conacher, who also excelled in baseball and Lacrosse, and fought Jack Dempsey as an amatuer is considered as "Canada's Answer to Jim Thorpe".

Wouldn't that just make it wider and wider?

Imagine lacing up skates as a child and working and working at becoming proficient at skating and handling a puck. Putting all that time in for youre entire childhood and early adulthood where playing hockey is your obsession and your only life. Then working your way up the ranks as a pro and grinding every single day to become the best you can be which allows you to make it to the NHL, the pinnacle of your international sport. Then building the camaraderie with a team for years and battling all the way through the season to make it to the postseason. Then going on a run to the championship, something youve watched on TV all of your years growing up in this Earth and are now a part of with millions around the world watching on the grandest stage. Then imagine winning it all in Game 7, something that so few have ever done and will ever get to do in their life and writing your name down in the history books making it immortal. Wouldnt that make you want to skate around victoriously with the Stanley Cup hoisted over your head?

Why the hell do they take turns skating around the ice hoisting the cup above their heads? Makes zero sense.
Because they would fall on their face and probably break the damn thing if they skated with it off the ice.

This is my unusually detailed, compulsive, and stupid question. How much disinfectant gets rubbed on this thing every year? God knows who or what all has been drinking out of it and you know there has to be copious amounts of stripper cooze juice on it by the time everyone on the team is done having their day with it. When they take rings off of it they should probably first send them to the CDC before they put them in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
