The Fit-Reform Trophy was a challenge cup, similar to the Stanley Cup during this time period, for the championship of Western Canada Professional Hockey. Any league champion, west of the Great Lakes, was eligible to complete for it. The cup was put up for competition by Duncan Cameron of Winnipeg in 1908. As per his wish the Cup was first awarded to the winner of the Manitoba Professional Hockey League.

This was likely because the Maple Leafs on their way home from their Stanley Cup challenge, defeated both Fort William and Port Arthur on their home ice. It was hoped that Edmonton, the champions from Alberta, would challenge.
