The '''1893 [[Amateur Hockey Association of Canada]] season''' lasted from January 7 until March 17. The [[Montreal Hockey Club]] was the league and Canadian champion for the sixth season in a row and was awarded the new [[Stanley Cup]]. As the first winners of the Cup they did not have to challenge for it.

==Executive==
{{Emergence of the NHL}}
On December 15, 1892, the AHAC elected its officers for the season:
* President - F. M. S. Jenkins, Ottawa
* 1st Vice. Pres. - J. Crathern, Victorias
* 2nd Vice. Pres. - A. Laurie, Quebec
* Secretary-Treasurer - J. A. Findlay, Montreal
* Council - A. Ritchie, Crystals; G. Carpenter, Shamrocks; M. Costigan, McGill; A. Z. Palmer, Ottawa Rebels; J. Farwell, Sherbrooke

==Season==
Ottawa and Quebec got into a dispute. Quebec protested their loss on January 21 in Quebec and refused to play in the return match until the protest was decided. The return match was scheduled for February but was not played until March 17. At the same time, Ottawa was in a dispute with the [[Ontario Hockey Association]] over the location of the final match for the Ontario championship. In the end, Ottawa seceded from the Ontario association.

{{Main|1893 Stanley Cup championship}}
Montreal HC won the championship for placing first in the regular season. This was Montreal HC's third straight championship since the Championship Trophy was inaugurated in 1891. According to the terms for the trophy, Montreal HC was allowed to keep the Trophy.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.legendsofhockey.net/html/silver_splashsrchampionship.htm |title=Senior Championship Trophy |publisher=Hockey Hall of Fame |accessdate=2008-09-30| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20081006065511/http://www.legendsofhockey.net/html/silver_splashsrchampionship.htm| archivedate= 6 October 2008 | deadurl= no}}</ref> A new version was struck for following seasons. The version won by Montreal is on display in the collection of the [[Hockey Hall of Fame]].

As champions of the AHAC, the [[Stanley Cup|Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup]] (known today as the Stanley Cup) was to be awarded to Montreal as its inaugural champion. On May 15, 1893, Sheriff John Sweetland finally presented the trophy to the MAAA president J. A. Taylor during the MAAA annual meeting. Each player received a souvenir gold ring as a gift of the MAAA.<ref>{{cite news |work=Montreal Gazette |date=May 16, 1893 |page=8 |title=Governor-General's Cup.
