The Lady Isobel Gathorne-Hardy Cup, often shortened to Isobel Cup, is the championship trophy awarded annually to the Premier Hockey Federation (PHF) playoff winner.[2] It is named after Lady Isobel Gathorne-Hardy, one of the first known women to play the game and daughter of Lord Stanley (the namesake of the Stanley Cup, and former Governor-General of Canada).[3]
The front of the trophy is engraved with "The Lady Isobel Gathorne-Hardy Cup 1875–1963. This Cup, shall be awarded annually to the greatest professional women's hockey team in North America. All who pursue this Cup, pursue a dream; a dream born with Isobel, that shall never die. EST. 2016."[4]
The first Cup was awarded in 2016[1] at the end of the inaugural season of the NWHL, the first professional women's hockey league in the United States.[5] The league is now known as the Premier Hockey Federation (PHF) and includes teams from both the United States and Canada who compete for the trophy.[6]
