PWHL Championship trophy goes missing en route to Alberta event

Summary

The Montreal Victoire's version of the Walter Cup, a championship trophy for the Professional Women’s Hockey League, did not arrive in Lethbridge, Alberta, as scheduled. This incident has raised concerns as the league prepares for a public event featuring the trophy. The PWHL issued a statement confirming they are in contact with the shipping company to locate the missing trophy. The PWHL does not have a dedicated handler for its trophies, unlike the NHL, which has a curator for its championship trophy. The Montreal Victoire, which captured the championship over the Ottawa Charge with a 3-1 victory in May, is currently awaiting updates on the trophy's whereabouts.
