The Redwood Cup
The Redwood Cup is awarded annually to the Hockey Night in Canada's Play On! National Champions, who are recognized as the World's Greatest Street Hockey Players on CBC Television. The Cup was displayed for over two years in a dedicated exhibit at the Hockey Hall of Fame. The trophy has also been featured each of the past three years during Hockey Day in Canada.
The Cup stands 49" (124.5cm) tall and is made of real Canadian redwood with plated sterling silver.
The five silver sticks that encompass and support the trophy represent of the number of players on a team*. The sticks also guard the silver maple leaf, symbolic of the importance of street hockey to our nation.
Heavier than the Stanley Cup, it weighs over 63 lbs (28.6 kg)! The trophy cost over $10,000 to produce.
The Cup gets its name from Redwood Road in Kingsville, Ontario - the childhood home of the founder of the Play On! program - and serves as a tribute to all hockey players in Canada whose dreams were first cultivated on the streets or driveways of their homes.
*In the inaugural season of Play On!, teams consisted of four players on the street, including the goalie, with one spare.
