The Stanley Cup was first awarded to the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association on behalf of the affiliated Montreal Hockey Club, the champions of the Amateur Hockey Association of Canada (AHAC) in 1893, since they "defeated all comers during the late season, including the champions of the Ontario Association" (Ottawa).
