I am having difficulty establishing start dates for either. I'm hoping there's an answer out there somewhere. I'm wondering if anyone has access to this book:
Podnieks, Andrew; Hockey Hall of Fame (2000). Silverware. Bolton, Ontario: Fenn Publishing Company. ISBN 1-55168-296-6.
I have learned that the
Cosby Cup was awarded until replaced by a Robertson Cup. Also, in the book "100 Years of Dropping the Puck" (A history of the OHA), it mentions Robertson cups for senior teams before 1910, but is not clear on the junior teams. I can verify 1934 as the start date for it being awarded for OHA Junior A, but maybe sooner?

Flibirigit: I have the book. I see that there are -three- Robertson Cup trophies, but only one article on Wikipedia. We should probably decide what to do, or put it to wp:hockey.

I'm happy to know I wasn't crazy. There should be three; one for Senior, the second for Intermediate hockey, and the third for Junior hockey. The two lesser known trophies, are mentioned in their respective league articles. Do you have starting or foundation dates for the three trophies?

Flibirigit: There is only one starting date listed, for the senior-level. I added that to the article. But, there is not much in the HHOF book. It's not an academic institution after all. If you've been to the HHOF, you'll see all sorts of errors in the various exhibits. Like saying Frank McGee was born in the 1890s, which would have made him 10 years old when he helped the Ottawa Senators win the Stanley Cup. Though they do have a curatorial staff, it's just some volunteers. I've been to their resource centre. It's no museum-level system. It's basically a store-room with some files and a bunch of stuff that's been tagged. The OHA website doesn't have much to offer either. I hope we can find the dates in the Toronto newspapers online.

I noticed on the icehockey wiki article for the J. Ross Robertson Cup has an old photograph of a cup. The caption mentions it was donated in 1910 for juniors. Hopefully we can find out which newspaper that came from. My hunch is that the Toronto Star has the best archives.
