Jennings Cup Explained

The Jennings Cup is the longest consecutively awarded ice hockey cup in the world. Presented in 1898 by William T. Jennings for the University of Toronto interfaculty ice hockey tournament, it has been disputed every year since then. At the present, it is disputed twice a year by the men's ice hockey teams of the three campuses of the University of Toronto.[1] [2]

History

In 1898, the Jennings Cup was presented to the School of Practical Science, University of Toronto, for ice hockey competition. Its presenter, William T. Jennings, was a civil engineer, a chairman in Engineering, and a passionate hockey enthusiast who strongly believed in athletics.[3] The donation of the cup brought attention to hockey at the university and sparked an interfaculty competition.[4]
