No, it would be rather large. Jean Beliveau and Yvan Cournoyer have ten cups each. That trumps winning one each of the "triple gold". Iginla doesn't have a stanley cup but he's a very decorated hockey player. Multiple individual titles, World Championship, two time Olympic winner, World Cup of hockey winner, World Junior Gold, two time WHL, two time Memorial Cup winner.
Huge congrats to Bouwmeester, he's won more than most think, but that was such an over the top statement. Even the list of triple gold club winners was more than double what the OP originally thought.
This is a boring debate in this thread, I'll chalk it up to cup excitement and move on.
