1902 Stanley Cup championship

1901–02
In January 1902, the OHA's Toronto Wellingtons challenged the Winnipeg Victorias for the Cup in a best-of-three series, but Winnipeg swept Toronto in two games with identical 5–3 scores.

After the Montreal HC won the 1902 CAHL title in March, they promptly sent a challenge to the Winnipeg Victorias. In Game 1 of the best-of-three series, Winnipeg shutout Montreal, 1–0. However, Montreal shutout Winnipeg in Game 2, 5–0, and then held on to a 2–1 victory in Game 3. With the victory, the Montreal club won the Cup for the first time since 1894.
