2 unusual facts about Avco World Trophy


Avco World Trophy

The Avco World Trophy, also known as the Avco Cup, was the championship trophy of the original World Hockey Association (19721979).

When the New England Whalers won the league's inaugural championship in 1973 the trophy had not yet been completed, and the Whalers were forced to "skate" their divisional championship trophy around the ice surface, much to the embarrassment of the WHA office.
