The Professional Women’s Hockey League replica Walter Cup did not arrive at a scheduled appearance in Brighton, Michigan, over the weekend. Montreal Victoire player Shiann Darkangelo confirmed the trophy was absent from an event at an Athleta store on Saturday. This incident marks the second time in two weeks that a replica trophy has failed to arrive at its designated destination. The league previously reported a similar shipping delay on August 20 ahead of an appearance in Lethbridge, Alberta, though that trophy was eventually recovered on August 24. A source indicated the league employed the same shipping company for both occurrences. The official, original Walter Cup remains secured at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, while individual replica trophies are utilized by championship teams for public appearances and regional tours.
