context_page_description: The Jim Brown Shield is currently an annually awarded interstate ice hockey championship trophy in Australia for senior men aged 17 years and older with the condition that players of the Australian Ice Hockey League that are 24 years and older must have played less than 6 games to remain eligible. The current trophy is in the form of a shield and is the third trophy to bear the Brown family name. The trophy is named after Scottish born James Archibald Brown. The Jim Brown Shield is competed for in a series of games between state representative teams in what is called the Australian Men's National Ice Hockey Championship.
context_section_description: The original Jim Brown Shield donated by Harry Curtis in 1963 was a timber construction shield that had brass plaques bearing the names of the winning State. It was often presented sitting diagonally inside of a timber frame with glass cover, probably due to it not fitting inside the internal dimensions of the frame when placed upright. It has been identified in team images up until the late 1990s but cannot be seen afterwards, the location of this original shield is currently unknown.
