124 2009-10 wcha men’s yearbook championships the macnaughton cup

ating back more than 90 years to its original purchase in 1913, handcrafted of pure silver, standing three-feet high, and weighing more than 40 pounds, the MacNaughton Cup is D the shining symbol of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association and of its long-time standing as one of college hockey’s premier conferences. The MacNaughton Cup is awarded annually to the winner of the regular season champion- ship, and as a traveling trophy, is on display throughout the course of each season at the home of the previous year’s winner. Beginning in 2005-06, the WCHA also began awarding a smaller silver replica MacNaughton Cup to the regular season champion(s) each season. The MacNaughton Cup has gone to the regular season winner on all but seven occasions since 1951. From 1962-65, the Cup was presented to the league playoff winner. And in 1982, ’83 and ’84, the trophy left the league with Cup custodian Michigan Tech and went to the champion of the CCHA. Since 1951, nine member schools have won the MacNaughton Cup, while Colorado College (1994, 1995, 1996) and North Dakota (1997 co-, 1998, 1999) are the only schools to have won the trophy three straight times. The Sioux have won or shared the regular season championship five of the past nine seasons while the Tigers have won or shared the trophy five of the past 12 seasons.

history of the macnaughton cup

The MacNaughton Cup has been in existence and associated with amateur in America since 1914. It has traveled a long and winding road since its initial purchase back in 1913 by the Calumet (Mich.) and Hecla Mining Company, but officially settled into a home with the original WCHA (MCHL/WIHL) in 1951. In 1913, James MacNaughton, then president of Calumet and Hecla, Inc., and an avid sup- porter of amateur ice hockey, authorized the president of the American Amateur Hockey As- sociation to purchase a cup (he said the price didn’t matter) and present it to the Association’s championship team at the end of the season. The first winner was a team from the Cleveland (Ohio) Athletic Club. The MacNaughton Cup remained with the AAHA until it ceased operations in 1920. From 1921 to 1950, the Cup was fought for by semi-pro and intermediate hockey aggrega- tions in Michigan’s Copper Country. In 1951, the cup was donated by Calumet and Hecla, Inc., through the generosity of Mr. & Mrs. Endicott R. Lovell, to the newly-founded Midwest Collegiate Hockey League, foreruner of the WCHA. Lovell, president of the company at that time and the son-in-law of James MacNaughton, was also a ardent supporter of amateur hockey. The MCHL chose – in the original spirit – to award the trophy to its regular season champion. At that time, the league was Michigan Tech, Colorado College, Denver, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota and North Dakota. The MacNaughton Cup remained a part of the MCHL/WIHL until the league disbanded in March of 1958 for one year. In 1959-60, the seven original teams resumed formal competition under the name Western Collegiate Hockey Association. From 1951 to 1981, the MacNaughton Cup was awarded to the WCHA’s regular season champion – with the exception of 1962, 1963, 1964 and 1965 when it went to the conference playoff winner. When Michigan Tech left the WCHA to join the CCHA in 1981-82, they – as cus- todians of the Cup – took the trophy with them and for the next three seasons (1982-84) the MacNaughton Cup was presented to the winner of the CCHA regular season championship. When Tech came back to the WCHA in 1984, so too did the MacNaughton Cup.

macnaughton cup winners The MacNaughton Cup has been awarded to the WCHA regular season champion in all but seven seasons since 1951. In the seasons of 1961-62, 1962-63, 1963-64 and 1964-65, the Mac- Naughton Cup actually went to the WCHA playoff winner. In the seasons of 1981-82, 1982-83 and 1983-84, and due to the departure from the WCHA of Michigan Tech (custodian of the MacNaughton Cup) to the CCHA, the MacNaughton Cup was actually awarded to the CCHA champion. The MacNaughton Cup did, however, then return to the WCHA with the return of MTU to the league membership in 1985. symbol of the wcha regular season championship, the macnaughton cup has been part of the association since it’s founding in 1951.

ne of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association’s two major championship trophies is the statuesque and highly sought-after Broadmoor Trophy, which has been awarded O annually since 1985 to the winner of the conference’s post season playoff champion- ship tournament. The Broadmoor Trophy itself dates to 1981 when it was first presented to the conference by the world-renowned Broadmoor Hotel and Resort Complex of Colorado Springs, Colo. For the first three seasons of its partnership with the WCHA (1981-1984) – and due to the departure of league member and MacNaughton Cup (regular season championship trophy) custodian Michigan Tech to the CCHA – the Broadmoor Trophy was presented to the Association’s regular season champion. But when the Huskies returned to the WCHA in 1984 – with the MacNaughton Cup in hand – the Broadmoor Trophy became, and has remained since, the symbol of the league’s post-season tournament championship. Long an ardent supporter of college hockey, the Broadmoor Hotel included the former Broadmoor World Arena, which hosted the NCAA Ice Hockey Championship a total of 11 times between 1948 and 1969.

broadmoor trophy winners

The Broadmoor Trophy has been presented to the winner of the WCHA’s post-season tourna- ment championship (i.e. WCHA playoff champion, WCHA Final Five champion) in all but three seasons, since it was first acquired by the Association in 1981. Those three seasons were 1981-82, 1982-83 and 1983-84 when Michigan Tech left the WCHA for membership in the CCHA. As custodian of the MacNaughton Cup, Michigan Tech’s absence in 1981-82, 1982-83 and 1983-84 left the WCHA without a trophy for the regular season champion and thus the league’s regular season winner was presented the Broadmoor Trophy. But when Michigan rejoined the WCHA for the 1984-85 season, the Broadmoor Trophy resumed it’s rightful place as the symbol of the league’s playoff champion.
