PWHL's Walter Cup trophy has been found, league says, after briefly going missing
The trophy was misplaced while in transit to Alberta last week while on a victory tour among Victoire players, though details of how it was lost are still unclear.
The PWHL’s Walter Cup, which briefly disappeared over the weekend, has been found and is back on its journey, the league announced on Monday. The trophy went missing while en route to Alberta for Montreal Victoire’s victory tour following their first PWHL championship in May. A statement from the PWHL thanked those who helped locate the Cup and expressed appreciation for fans' concern and support.
The league did not provide further details on the incident. Montreal Victoire had planned to bring the Cup to Lethbridge, Alberta, where it would spend time with former forward Dara Greig. However, upon arriving in Alberta, the Cup was not present in the container. Montreal Victoire confirmed the Cup's return via a post on social media, stating that Walter needed some rest after the celebrations and was now found and ready to continue on its journey.
The trophy, a replica weighing 35 pounds and crafted by Tiffany & Co., is named after PWHL owner Mark Walter. Each winning PWHL team receives a copy of the trophy to keep, while the original remains permanently at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.
