Minto Cup 

Awards:

Jim McConaghy Memorial Award

In 1963, Les Gilmour donated a medal in recognition of Jim McConaghy's long and faithful contribution to the game of lacrosse. It is presented to the most outstanding player (MVP) during each Minto Cup series. In 1990, the award was changed to a commemorative gold ring, which continues to be awarded to this day.

Jim Bishop Award

In 1999, the Canadian Lacrosse Association, in conjunction with the family of Jim Bishop and the Canadian Lacrosse Foundation, inaugurated this award in honour of Jim Bishop, one of the greatest coaches ever to grace the game. Jim Bishop's involvement in lacrosse spanned some 58 years, influencing and developing players from tykes to professional. It is awarded at the Minto Cup to an individual who shows the qualities of leadership, sportsmanship and outstanding play.
