1912 Allan Cup

Claude C. Robinson was named a trustee for the Allan Cup in Western Canada to oversee challenges for the trophy.

[2] Robinson was surprised by the announcement, and had expected to arrange exhibition games between the Winnipeg Victorias and the New Edinburghs.

[2][3] No challenge from the New Edinburghs was approved for 1912,[4] since the Ottawa district playoffs took too long to complete ruling out to travel to Winnipeg.

[5] The Victorias won the 1911–12 Manitoba Hockey League regular season, then defended the Allan Cup in three challenges.

[4] In 1942, Robinson described the victory versus Toronto Eaton's as redemption for winning the trophy by default from the OHA.
