The Isobel Cup is a storied symbol of excellence in women’s professional hockey. Named after Lady Isobel Gathorne-Hardy, daughter of Lord Stanley, the trophy first crowned a playoff champion in 2016 when the Boston Pride claimed its inaugural title. The Isobel Cup represents the pinnacle of performance in the league’s playoff races, embodying dedication, teamwork, and championship caliber play. While the trophy has historical significance in the PHF, changes to the league culminated with the Walter Cup becoming the championship trophy for the unified Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) in 2024. This page provides context, historical background, and information on related events and opportunities to catch top-tier women’s hockey live.
