The Le Mat is the oldest trophy competed for by professional athletes in Sweden. The trophy was donated by the founding father of ice hockey in Sweden, Raoul Le Mat, and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. in 1926. Since then, the silver cup has been modified and now features a lid with two crossed ice hockey sticks and an oak base. The cup is 52 cm (20 in) high and weighs 3.34 kg (7.4 lb).[1]
