I can't think of any Stanley cup winner though.. so my answer would be none.
Correct ;)

In the history of the nhl only once has a team captained by a non-canadian won a stanley cup. The Dallas Stars with US Born Derrian Hatcher

That was on reason to root for the Ducks over the senators last year.
