The public work of art was erected in honour of the gift made in 1892 by Canada’s sixth Governor General, Lord Stanley of Preston. The Monument, representing the simple silver bowl offered 125 years ago to recognize the “champion hockey team in the Dominion,” was gifted to the City of Ottawa during the ceremony.
