themodelcitizen Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Have the clubs unveiled an official trophy yet? I know its been covered on here, but has there been any significant progress towards having the Voyageurs Cup carried over but are things at a stalemate? Anyone have a picture of the Voyageurs Cup?

themodelcitizen Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 Daniel, would you mind if I uploaded the picture from the website onto wikipedia? I had it on there but apparently the licensing wasn't strict enough so it was deleted. If you don't mind, I'll upload it again and click the box that says "owner has given me permission", that should keep it from deletion without any problems.

Daniel Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Yeah, no problem using it on Wikipedia. I know someone has studio shots of the trophy somewhere (or maybe they're on the board). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winnipeg Fury Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Just a quick update. The CSA now have the Voyageurs Cup in Ottawa, preparing for the 2008 Champion. Apparently the Voyageurs Cup case we had custom made has gone missing. The Impact think it must have been lost when moving offices/stadiums. As per our contract, the CSA are now fully responsible and will have a new one made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nazzer Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Will there be a trophy presentation at the last match in Toronto? After the Montreal vs Vancouver match in Swangard its pretty much impossible for Vancouver to win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Montreal vs Vancouver match in Swangard its pretty much impossible for Vancouver to win it. We will see how the tourney goes. It doesn't have to happen right after someone wins, particularly since thew trophy is now in Ottawa. There will be a representative from the Voyageurs at the presentation as well.

Daniel Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 If that last game is indeed for all the marbles, it would be great to have the cup on display during the game (with ribbons!) and have the winner lift it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I'd say see if WF and the CSA can get it done before bombarding with emails. It might already be in the plans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrek Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 That cup also has to go periodic re-silvering/polishing. I hope the CSA looks after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnipeg Fury Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 The CSA will handle it any way the winning team would like. It's not often our clubs can rightfully call themselves champion, so I'm sure whatever the date or location, it will be well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themodelcitizen Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 Isn't the last game pretty well guaranteed to be the decider now? No reason not to have the trophy on display and presented to the winner. Unless Vancouver take 6 points from Toronto, winning by 2+ goals both games, and set up a 3-way tie (providing toronto beats montreal) -- which I think we can agree is unlikely -- TFC-Impact will be "the final", whether their points totals are 9 and 6, 7 and 6, 6 and 6, 5 and 6, or 4 and 6. Maybe I've just missed it, but has there been any publicity about the Voyageurs Cup being used on official websites? Wouldn't hurt to mention that the teams are vieing for this particular trophy. Rather than compromising the integrity of the tournament, I feel that it legitimizes it and gives it historical significance. Much as the Stanley Cup preceded the NHL, so too does the Voyageurs Cup date back to pre-CC days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and White Army Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Someone who has a nice photo of the Cup should add it to the Wikipedia pages posted above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
