The Montreal Victoire forward Dara Greig was scheduled to bring the Walter Cup, a trophy awarded to the PWHL champion, on a tour of her hometown Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada. However, the event was postponed as the Walter Cup is currently missing. The official cup, designed by Tiffany & Co., was meant to be showcased at a "bringing it home" ceremony in Lethbridge.
The PWHL, founded in 2023, awarded its first championship to the Minnesota Frost in 2024, with the Montreal Victoire becoming the first Canadian team to win the Walter Cup in 2026. The trophy is 24 1/2 inches high, 13 inches wide, and 12 1/2 inches long, weighing 35 pounds. PWHL senior vice president of hockey operations Jayna Hefford had previously emphasized the importance of the Walter Cup being something that could be used for drinking, as it was a non-negotiable design requirement.
