Source-derived summary

The Anton Cup is the championship trophy of the Swedish junior hockey league, J20 Nationell. The trophy was donated by Anton Johansson, chairman of the Swedish Ice Hockey Association between 1924 and 1948, in 1952, as an award for Sweden's top-ranking ice hockey club, decided by a national tournament without Swedish Championship status. From 1956 to 1957, the tournament gained Swedish Championship status and district teams were allowed to participate. In 1961, the tournament was limited to only associations and clubs.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Anton Cup” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Anton, championship and trophy provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4775718. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1924, 1948, 1952 and 1956.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
