Overview
- The PWHL confirmed Friday that the Montreal Victoire’s replica Walter Cup did not arrive at its scheduled stop and remains unlocated while the league coordinates with the shipping company to find it.
- A shipping container for the victory tour reached Lethbridge but opened without the trophy inside, forcing the postponement of Dara Greig’s planned hometown event.
- The missing object is the team’s replica version, not the original Walter Cup that is kept at the Hockey Hall of Fame, and the replica is a roughly 35‑pound sterling‑silver cup made by Tiffany & Co.
- Unlike the NHL’s Stanley Cup, the PWHL does not use a dedicated handler who travels with the trophy, a logistical gap observers say could explain how the cup went missing.
- Montreal won the PWHL championship in May and the league may review transit and security practices while searches continue; public attention on the trophy’s owner name exists but there is no reported link between that scrutiny and the disappearance.
