After Summer Travel Woes, PWHL May Consider Using ‘Keeper of the Cup’ in Future
League executives are weighing a cup keeper after the trophy replica missed two appearances and was lost in shipment once, The Athletic reported.
- The PWHL may eventually use a "Keeper of the Cup" to secure the Walter Cup following shipping delays this summer, as the league evaluates procedures to prevent future transit issues.
- Last month, the trophy went missing before an event in Lethbridge, Alta., with Montr Victoire forward Dara Greig; in early September, it failed to arrive in Brighton, Mich., for Shiann Darkangelo.
- The travelling Cup is a replica of the original Tiffany-designed trophy kept at the Hockey Hall of Fame, Jayna Hefford, the league's executive vice-president of hockey operations, noted.

- The National Hockey League uses multiple cup keepers to manage the Stanley Cup throughout the year, a model the PWHL may adopt as it prepares for its upcoming season.
