You know how e.g. the Hurricanes had "2006 NHL Stanley Cup Champions" hats on as soon as they won game 7? Well you can bet that somewhere there were also such hats for the Oilers that never made it on to the ice. My theory is that such products are written off and shipped off as donations to places like, say, Mozambique.
