Minto Cup

The Minto Cup is awarded annually to the champion junior men's box lacrosse team of Canada.

[1] Originally restricted to amateurs, within three years the first under-the-table professional teams were already competing for it.

After 1904, with efforts to keep the professionals out of competition proving to be futile, it was made open to all challengers.

The trophy was located just prior to the 1938 junior competition, underneath a desk in his office.

In 1934 the last trustee appointed to supervise the Cup died, and the Lord Minto of the day eventually transferred it to the Canadian Lacrosse Association, which decided to award it as the trophy for the national junior men's champion, starting in 1937.
