Thanks! Interesting note... apparently that top part for the Stanley Cup is a rare piece or something. Had the hardest time tracking that down.
How did you make this display? It’s perfect size for this set of pints and looks great
I used a program called Lego Digital Designer to figure out what pieces I'd need and how to put them together, then ordered them off Brick Link (except for the 'glass', base, and cup bowl - which were cheaper or only available on eBay).
The base is a 16x32 stud baseplate, but cut down to 15x31, which not only is much nicer for my slight OCD as it keeps the sides even, but also fits perfectly in this display case as long as you leave the back corner of the glass open, which I had to alter slightly after taking the picture posted in this thread (because the display case taper inward just a little bit)...

The '"ice" is a combination of red, blue, and white 1x6, 1x4, and 1x3 tiles and the player bench is basically just a box with 2x3 tiles line in the middle for the PSHs to sit on.
Took a while to work it out just right with all the tweaking and redoing to get just right and find the cheapest combination of pieces (because Legos can get really expensive really quickly - LOL), but came out really nice I thought.
