The Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) says the Walter Cup championship trophy does not arrive as expected at its latest stop while in transit to Alberta. In a statement to The Associated Press, the league says it is working with the shipping company to locate the trophy after it is not received on schedule.
The trophy is on a victory tour with the Montreal Victoire, the PWHL champion. According to the AP, the planned next stop is Lethbridge, where the trophy was meant to spend time with Victoire forward Dara Greig. A person familiar with the plans tells the AP these details were not publicly disclosed by the league, and the person speaks on condition of anonymity.
Other outlets report the incident using the same basic account: the league confirms the trophy did not arrive as expected and that efforts are underway to find it. Differences are limited to phrasing and the amount of detail provided, as the league has not offered further specifics about what happened during shipping.
