Source-derived summary

The Riley Trophy is an award given to the Atlantic Hockey America men's tournament champion. The trophy is named after long-time Army head coach Jack Riley and was created a little over a year after the legendary coach's death.

History

Originally awarded by Atlantic Hockey in 2018, the Riley Trophy remained in the possession of the conference when it merged with College Hockey America in 2024. Since it was introduced in 2017, the trophy has gone to the champion of the conference tournament which is typically held around late-February through mid-March.

Editorial summary

The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2018, 2024, 2017—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. For this dossier, Riley, Trophy and Wikimedia is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “wikimedia list article” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q65073891. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2018, 2024 and 2017.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. 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.
