More correctly the 'NHL era' began in 1926. The Cup has been around since the late 1800's and that's why Ottawa counts.
I've always been curious as to how the NHL got sole rights to the cup. I'd love to see some team from Europe or Russia try to dig up an obscure document that would somehow legally let them (and other) clubs try to compete for it as well.
