  "account": "The Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) is currently searching for the Walter Cup, a trophy belonging to the league's champion Montreal Victoire. The missing trophy was supposed to be presented to Victoire forward Dara Greig, who was to spend the day with it in Lethbridge, Alberta. The container that was to deliver the trophy arrived, but it was empty. The PWHL does not have a dedicated person to travel with the trophy when it visits different cities. The Walter Cup is a sterling silver version issued to championship-winning teams, designed by Tiffany & Co. It weighs about 35 pounds and stands 24 inches tall. The cup is engraved with the six original franchises' initials and a puck on its base with the names of championship teams etched on it. Montreal Victoire defeated Ottawa in the best-of-five series final to clinch the cup, making them the PWHL's first Canadian team to win the title.",
  "summary": "Unlike the NHL and the Stanley Cup, the PWHL does not have a person dedicated to travel with the Walter Cup when the trophy goes on the road with players.",
