The PWHL’s Walter Cup Championship Trophy Went Missing While in Transit to Alberta, League Tells AP
The league said the replica did not arrive as expected and is working with the shipping company to locate the 35-pound trophy.
- On Friday, the PWHL confirmed the replica Walter Cup is missing after failing to arrive during shipment to Alberta. The league is working with the shipping company to locate the trophy.
- The trophy was intended to spend Thursday in Lethbridge, Alberta, with Montreal Victoire forward Dara Greig for a public event. The container arrived empty, forcing Greig to postpone the scheduled appearance at VisitLethbridge.
- Unlike the original trophy permanently housed at the Hockey Hall in Toronto, the missing item is a close replica issued to championship teams. It measures 61 centimeters tall and weighs 16 kilograms.
- The PWHL does not assign a dedicated person to travel with the trophy, unlike the NHL and Stanley Cup protocols. The league stated it "did not arrive as expected at its latest stop" and is investigating with the shipping company.
- Named after PWHL founder and Los Angeles Dodgers owner Mark Walter and his wife Kimbra, the trophy features six engraved W's representing the league's original franchises. The base is designed to resemble a hockey puck.
