The Goodall Cup is the annually awarded championship trophy, of the Australian Ice Hockey League (AIHL), to the winner of the AIHL finals. Originally donated in 1909 the trophy is named after Australian born player John Edwin Goodall. The cup is instantly recognisable by the distinct single gold band of plaques around the lower portion of the trophy. The trophy has continued to be contested as the national senior men's ice hockey trophy in Australia, making it the fifth oldest known ice hockey trophy still being awarded, after the Stanley Cup (1892; NHL Championship Cup), the Queen's Cup (1903; Ontario University Championship Cup), the Boyle Cup (1904; previously Newfoundland Senior Men's Cup and now Newfoundland High School Championship Cup), and the Allan Cup (1908; Canadian Senior Men's Amateur Championship Cup). The original Goodall Cup is made of pewter and mounted on a wooden base. Inscribed on the bowl of the cup are the words: ''"Inter-State Hockey Cup Presented by J.E. Goodall"'' There are two versions of the Goodall Cup: The "Original Cup" that now resides in the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, Ontario and the "Replica Cup" that is currently used for presentations and is awarded to the players upon becoming the AIHL finals champions. The Goodall Cup was traditionally an inter-state tournament, before it was incorporated into the Australian Ice Hockey League in 2002. New South Wales and Victoria were the original competitors and, between them, held the trophy until 1977 when Queensland won the cup. The Goodall Cup has been competed for annually since 1909 with the following exceptions: 1914-1920 World War I, 1940-1946 (World War II), 1955-1960 (closure of the Sydney Glaciarium) and 1993. ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Goodall Cup」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
