Queen's Cup (ice hockey)

The Queen's Cup is a trophy awarded annually to the champion in men's ice hockey of the Ontario University Athletics conference of Canadian Interuniversity Sport. It has been awarded since 1903 to the champion between Ontario and Quebec universities. The current champion is the McGill University Redmen.[1] 2011 marked the 100th time the Cup has been awarded. It is the second-oldest ice hockey trophy still being awarded, after the Stanley Cup.[2]

History

For the 1902–03 season, McGill University, Queen's University and the University of Toronto founded the Canadian Intercollegiate Hockey Union.[3] The Queen's Cup, emblematic of the CIHU championship was donated by Queen's University of Kingston, Ontario.[2] The Queen's Cup was not presented during the war years of 1915-16, 1916-17, 1917-18, 1918-19, 1940-41, 1941-42, 1942-43, 1943-44. 1944-45. The first winner other than the founders was the Université de Montréal in 1949. By the 1960s, other universities, including Ontario Agricultural College (Guelph), McMaster, Waterloo and Western were granted membership and became eligible to win the Cup. Other universities have since joined the CIHU, now known as the OUA conference. The original Cup was retired in 2000 to the Hockey Hall of Fame.[3]
