History
editIn November 1926, Allan Cup trusteeWilliam Northeysuggested that the trophy be withdrawn unless the teams competing for it followed the amateur code more strictly.W. A. Hewittfelt that the sole point of contention was the travel allowance given by theCanadian Amateur Hockey Association(CAHA), to teams travelling to play in Allan Cup games. The CAHA sought a new financial deal with the trustees, since it was financially dependent on the proceeds from Allan Cup gate receipts.[1]H. Montagu Allanagreed to donate the Allan Cup outright to the CAHA, and control of the Allan Cup along with a surplus of $20,700, was formally transferred to the CAHA in a ceremony at theChâteau Laurieron March 26, 1928.[2]
