Fit-Reform Cup

The Fit-Reform Cup was a challenge cup, similar to the Stanley Cup during this time period, for the championship of Western Canada Professional Hockey. Any league champion, west of the Great Lakes, was eligible to complete for it. The Cup was put up for competition by Duncan Cameron of Winnipeg in 1908. As per his wish the Cup was first awarded to the winner of the Manitoba Professional Hockey League.

1908

Winnipeg Maple Leafs won the Manitoba Professional Hockey League and became the first recipient of the Cup. Only 1 challenge reached the trustees and this came from Port Arthur, but since they were not league champions, the challenge was dismissed. Fort William, who were the league champions, did not issue a challenge. This was likely because the Maple Leafs on their way home from their Stanley Cup challenge, defeated both Fort William and Port Arthur on their home ice. It was hoped that Edmonton, the champions from Alberta, would challenge. 1909
