Montreal Victoire’s Missing PWHL Championship Walter Cup Trophy Found and Reunited with Team
The league said the 35-pound replica trophy was recovered after a shipment mix-up and returned to Montreal.
The PWHL announced on Monday that The Montreal Victoire's missing The Walter Cup has been found after being lost during shipment and reunited with the team.
What went missing was a 'keeper' cup, a 16-kilogram, 61-centimeter replica of the original sterling silver Tiffany & Co.-designed Walter Cup that remains permanently housed at the Hockey Hall in Toronto.
Last week, the trophy failed to arrive in Lethbridge, Alberta, where it was scheduled to spend time with Victoire forward Dara Greig, causing The PWHL to work with its shipping company to locate it.
Acknowledging the mishap, The PWHL said, "Turns out, even the Walter Cup can have a little offseason adventure," while thanking fans for their concern and support during the search.
Named after PWHL founder Mark Walter and his wife, Kimbra, the trophy was awarded to Montreal in May after they defeated Ottawa in Game 5 to become the first Canadian champion.
