Hockey is a fast paced team sport placed on ice, requiring good levels of skill, speed, agility and endurance.

The pinnacle of Ice Hockey is the Stanley Cup competition. This has been awarded since 1894, originally called Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup. The original bowl was retired in 1969 because it was brittle. The trophy is a silver bowl atop a plinth, which has the names of all the past winners engraved. The plinth is extended as required.
