The W. G. Hardy Trophy, more commonly referred to as the Hardy Cup, was the Canadian national Intermediate "A" ice hockey championship from 1967 until 1984, and the Canadian national senior championship for Senior "AA" from 1985 until 1990.
[1][2] The trophy was donated by a group of realtors from North Battleford, and retired from competition in 1990.
The most prominent was for the Edmonton Journal Trophy, the Western Canadian Intermediate "A" Crown.
In Ontario, the Intermediate champions were sometimes included in Allan Cup Senior "A" playoffs.
[citation needed] Senior "AA" was unsustainable at the national level and the trophy was retired soon after.
