	Avco Cup
		The Avco Cup was the championship trophy of the original World Hockey Association (1972-1979).

		When the New England Whalers won the league's initial championship in 1973 the trophy had not 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.
