The World Cup of Hockey Trophy, designed by world-renowned architect Frank Gehry.
Frank Owen Gehry (Goldberg) - Born February 28, 1929 in Toronto, Ontario – Died December 5, 2025 in Santa Monica, California.

The trophy incorporates innovative use of materials, fabrication processes, and technology in its creation.

Gehry, a Toronto native, was specially commissioned by the National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) and National Hockey League (NHL) to design the trophy due, in part, to his lifelong passion for hockey. A labour of love, the trophy was designed and fabricated with meticulous attention to every detail - from the sculptural form and graphics, to considering the way it will be lifted on the ice.

A stainless steel base, body, crown and transparent acrylic shell, which was intended to evoke the feeling of a traditional trophy while it was composed in a uniquely contemporary way. Stainless steel was chosen for its durability, timelessness and ability to polish to a mirror finish, and acrylic was chosen for the shell because of its transparency, weight, durability and how it responded to UV light over time.
The World Cup of Hockey Trophy, using state-of-the-art fabrication techniques, seeks to capture both the toughness and the elegance of the sport, with a design that embodies the exceptional skill, commitment, and fortitude required of a winning team.
