Wanderpokal

The Wanderpokal (also known as the Tebbutt Cup and the Herausforderungspokal [Challenge Cup]) was an early German bandy hockey competition staged in Berlin. 
==History==
The Tebbutt brothers from England had visited Germany with their venerable Bury Fen Bandy Club in 1899. They played four games in Berlin (out of a scheduled six) at the Neue West Eisbahn and the Friedenauer Eisbahn.
On December 24, 1901, the Neue Hamburger Zeitung reported that the brothers had donated a "Herausforderungspokal" to the newly-formed Berliner Eishockey-Verband.Neue Hamburger Zeitung, December 24, 1901
The first games known to be played for the "Tebbutt Cup" are from around February 18, 1902, when Britannia beat Preussen 25-2 and Akademischer Sportclub beat Britannia 11-5. Akademischer Sportclub claimed the inaugural championship.
In 1902-03, the Berlin Championship for the Wanderpokal was staged in Berlin. On December 8, 1902, BFC Preussen defeated Berliner Hockey-und-Radpolo-Klub 10-2. ASC Berlin later defeated Britannia 19-1 on January 18, 1903. The final scheduled for January 25 between ASC and BFC was cancelled due to thaw.
In January 1904, the Prager Tagblatt noted that the "Wanderpokal" was scheduled to be played for the third time since 1901. The participating teams were listed as being: Preussen, Ballspielclub, Britannia, Berliner Hockey-und-Radpolo-Klub, Akademischer Sportklub. The winner would then play a "grand match" against Deutscher akad.-tech. Radfahrverein Prag.Prager Tagblatt, January 4, 1904 It is unknown if the cup was actually contested this year, as no results were subsequently reported.

Waseda University

Waseda University is a private University based in Shinjuku, Japan. Its ice hockey team competes most notably in the Kanto University Ice Hockey League, the Kanto University Ice Hockey Championship and the All-Japan Championship, as well as in several other competitions each season. 
==Achievements==
* All-Japan Championship titles: (3) 1933, 1936, 1938.
* Kanto University Ice Hockey Championship titles: 2004, 2007.
==History==
The 2009-10 season proved to be another good one for Waseda. The 2009 Kanto University Ice Hockey League season saw Waseda finish third overall in the Division 1 Group A standing, with a 5 wins, 2 losses and 3 ties record. Waseda thus earned a place in the league playoffs, where they met Meiji in the semifinals. Meiji, one of the only two teams who managed to beat Waseda in the regular season (along with Toyo) proved to be a challenge for Waseda. Both teams settled for a 3-3 tie in the first game of the series; Waseda narrowly won 4-3 after having trailed behind Meiji for most of the first two periods. This earned them the right to meet Toyo in the finals. Waseda started off with a solid 8-5 win in the first match of the series. Toyo won the second game 4-3; it was however not enough to win on the goal differential and Waseda clinched the league.
Waseda then went on to win the 2010 Japan Intercollegiate Games on January 9th with a 4-1 win over Meiji. They also achieved a decent performance in the 2010 All-Japan Championship, losing to the professional Nippon Paper Cranes in the Quarterfinals, meaning Waseda ranked among the 8 best teams in the country.

Washington, D.C.

Washington, District of Columbia, is the capital of the United States.
It has a population of almost 600,000 and a metro population of close to 6 million.
==History of hockey in Washington, DC==
The Ice Palace at Convention Hall opened in Washington, DC, in January 1896. The rink's surface, which measured 155’ x 205’, was then the largest sheet of artificial ice in the world. On January 9, Queen’s University from Canada and the Baltimore Athletic Club played the first ice hockey game at the rink, won 6-0 by the former. The Washington Hockey Club, Berkley Club, and Columbia Athletic Club were soon established, Washington beating Berkeley 1-0 on February 1. The Montreal Shamrocks beat the Montreal Hockey Club 3-1 in DC on March 7. The Washington Hockey Club and Washington Regents faced each other three times in 1897. The Ice Palace closed after this season, and hockey did not return to Washington until the Eagles joined the Eastern Hockey League for 1939-40. They played at the outdoor Riverside Stadium (with artificially frozen ice) from 1939-1941, then moved into the indoor Uline Arena.
The Washington Lions joined the American Hockey League in 1941, causing the Eagles to fold a year later. The Lions history was as follows: AHL (1941-1943), Eastern Hockey League (1944-1947), AHL (1947-1949), EHL (1951-1957). The team was renamed the Presidents in 1957 and remained in the EHL until 1960. The U.S. Coast Guard Cutters, who were based in Baltimore, played some games at Uline Arena in 1943-44. 
On February 26 and March 5, 1961, a Washington team fell 14-0 and 10-1, respectively, to the Baltimore Clippers on the road. For 1961-62, the Washington Potomacs amateur hockey team was formed, and played for four seasons, before being rebranded as the Patriots for 1965-66, and folding in 1967. Two Washington teams, the Rebels and Canucks, Georgetown University and the Baltimore Mercuries formed the Metropolitan Amateur Hockey League for 1963-64. The Washington Presidents, the Eagles, George Washington University, and the Maryland Hockey Club (a University of Maryland-Gallaudet College combination) were added to the league the following year. Gallaudet and U of Maryland had separate teams in 1966-67, and Sholl's Cafeteria and the Eagles joined. The Baltimore Jr. Clippers and Miller's Restaurant were added the next year. The league became known as the Chesapeake Hockey League for 1968-69. It lasted for over a decade, playing well into the 1980s.
On September 20, 1963, the Montreal Canadiens blasted the Baltimore Clippers 8-3 at the Uline Arena. A week later, the Chicago Black Hawks mauled the Clippers 8-0 in Washington. The Washington Chiefs were formed as an independent amateur team for the 1967-68 season. On December 8, 1968, the Chiefs lost 21-4 to the professional Salem Rebels. They faced the Rebels again on February 19, 1969, falling 9-7 in a much more competitive game. The Chiefs remained active through the 1975-76 season. The Washington Capitals have played in the National Hockey League since 1974, winning their first Stanley Cup in 2018.

Wellblechpalast

right|thumb|300px|Wellblechpalast – home of the Eisbären Berlin
Wellblechpalast is the official name of the ice hockey arena in the Sportforum Hohenschönhausen in Berlin Germany. The arena was built in 1963 and was the home stadium of the ice hockey team Eisbären Berlin until the 2007-08 season. The facility still serves as training unit for the Eisbären Berlin; it also hosts games of the Eisbären Juniors team, and occasionally games of several other Berlin-based amateur teams. The structure's roof is made up of corrugated iron sheets ("Wellblech" in German). 
The nickname Wellblechpalast (corrugated roof palace), coined by a journalist during the early 1990s, originally had a pejorative connotation that to characterised both the destitute natures of the building and the Eisbären Berlin ice hockey team, which at the time regularly finished at the bottom of the standings. However, the name stuck and assumed a cult status among the club's fans. 
The arena accommodates 4,695 people; the seating capacity is 1,600, with 3,095 standing on the terraces. 
On 6 October 2001, it was officially renamed to Wellblechpalast.

Wembley Arena

The SSE Arena, Wembley (originally the Empire Pool and subsequently Wembley Arena is an indoor arena located in Wembley, London.
It was built for the 1934 British Empire Games at Wembley, by Arthur Elvin, and originally housed a swimming pool, as reflected by its former name, Empire Pool. The pool itself was last used for the 1948 Summer Olympics. The building is used for music, comedy, family entertainment and sport.
The venue was renovated, along with Wembley Stadium, as part of the early-21st-century regeneration of the Wembley Park area. The arena refurbishment cost £35m and the new arena opened to the public on 2 April 2006, with a concert by the English electronic-music band Depeche Mode.
The Wembley Lions and Wembley Monarchs were two ice hockey teams that used the venue regularly during the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, while the London Lions used the venue for a season in the 1970s. Wembley also hosted the British Hockey League play-off finals weekend at the end of each season up until the league's disbandment in 1996. The arena also played host to NHL teams the Toronto Maple Leafs and the New York Rangers for a pair of challenge matches in 1993.
It was one of the host facilities for the Ice Hockey World Championships in 1937 and 1950.

Wembley Lions

The Wembley Lions were an English ice hockey team.
==History==
The team was founded in 1934 but showed a continuity with the London Lions team which had played at various venues since 1924. The Wembley team were based at the newly built Empire Pool which they shared with the Wembley Monarchs until 1950.
The team entered the English National League, winning it in 1935-36 and 1936-37. After a break during World War II, they returned and again topped the league in 1951-52. In 1954, Lions joined the new British National League, which they won this championship in 1956/7. The League collapsed in 1960, and faced with the prospect of no regular league matches, the team folded.
===1937 international playoffs===
The Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) arranged an international tournament aimed to determine a world's amateur club team champion, hosted at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, and invited the champions of the Allan Cup and the Memorial Cup, the Eastern Amateur Hockey League and the English National League. The world's amateur title was contested by the Wembley Lions, the Hershey Bears, the Sudbury Tigers, and the Winnipeg Monarchs. The schedule was a six-game double round-robin tournament from April 17 to 24, followed by a best-of-three game final series among the top two teams.
CAHA representative W. A. Hewitt announced the shortening of the series due to poor attendance. The game between Hershey and Winnipeg was cancelled as both teams went home early, and a final best-of-three series between Sudbury and Wembley. Sudbury and Wembley completed the best-of-three series each with a win, loss and tie. Since Wembley had travel plans to return to Europe, the series was decided by sudden death overtime period played immediately after the third game finished. Sudbury then won the series on a goal by George Hastie in the 15th minute of play.
===Later incarnation===
Inspired by the success of Brighton Tigers, who had continued to play without a league, Lions reformed in 1963 to play friendly matches and continued until 1968.

Wembley Monarchs

The Wembley Monarchs were an ice hockey team in the United Kingdom. They were founded in 1929 as the Grosvenor House Canadians, transferred to Wembley Canadians for the 1934-35 season and became the Monarchs in 1936. The team played in the English League 1931-35, 1936–37 and in the English National League 1935-36, 1937-50. 
The Grosvenor House Canadians played their home matches at the Park Lane Rink but from 1934 the Empire Pool in London (now Wembley Arena) was the home ice for the Canadians/Monarchs (which they shared with the Wembley Lions).
The Grosvenor House Canadians won the English League in 1933-34 but the only success as the Monarchs came in 1948 when they won the English Autumn Cup title. After World War II ice shows became frequent events over the Christmas and New Year period and hosting two teams at Empire Pool became impractical. The Monarchs were closed down in 1950 as a result.
The heart of their strength was the famed "Kid Line",made up in 1948 of Mauno "Kid" Kauppi, Les Anning and Jean-Paul Lafortune. Left Wing Kauppi was voted MVP of the 1949 Autumn Cup game for scoring the winning goal in overtime.

Werner-Seelenbinder-Halle

Werner-Seelenbinder-Halle was an indoor sporting arena located in the Prenzlauer Berg district of Berlin, Germany. It was named after the executed Berlin resistance fighter Werner Seelenbinder, a German wrestling champion at several European championships and 1936 Summer Olympics athlete.
The arena opened in 1950 in what was then East Berlin, in a converted hall that had been part of the central cattle market and slaughterhouse complex. It then hosted the first national meeting of the Free German Youth. One of the major sports venues in Berlin in the 20th century, the capacity of the arena was up to 10,000 people.
Until the opening of the Palast der Republik in 1976, East German mass organizations like the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED) regularly used the Werner-Seelenbinder-Halle as a convention hall. From 1970 to 1990 it was also the site of the annual Festival of Political Songs. On 7 March 1988 Depeche Mode made their East German debut here, followed by The Wedding Present and Jonathan Richman but also by Feeling B and Rio Reiser in the same year.
It was a key location for East German ice hockey until 1970. Many DDR-Oberliga games were played at the facility.
Werner-Seelenbinder-Halle was closed and demolished in 1993. It was replaced by the present-day Velodrom.
