 Home

As a small contribution toward the college's 150th anniversary celebrations in 2012 alumni will be donating a century-old silver bowl to serve as the new Challenge Cup hockey trophy. The trophy's base will bear the names of all past winning teams, 101 of which have been identified so far.

If you can provide additional information to complete the list of winning teams (below), or any OVC hockey photos to be added to a Challenge Cup website and the university archives, please contact Brad Hanna (bhanna@uoguelph.ca).

Notes
1931
 OVC'32? The Scollie trophy was won in 1931 & 1932 by "OVC." At this time the Scollie was awarded to the winner of the match between the top OAC and OVC class hockey teams. Since this was OVC'32 in 1932, it may have been the same class in '31.
1932
OVC'32
 Principal C. D. McGilvray donates prize for "OVC house league hockey" which was won by Year'32. Torontonensis 1932, p. 135. OVC house league (inter-class) hockey existed before 1932 but this may have been the year that the annual tournament was inaugurated.
