Atlantic Hockey Reveals New Tournament Champion Trophy

Out with the old and in with the new, as the phrase often goes.



With 2017-18 being the 15th Anniversary season, Atlantic Hockey has decided to retire the previous Atlantic Hockey Tournament Championship Trophy and unveil a brand new, custom trophy that will be awarded at the 2018 Atlantic Hockey Tournament in Rochester, NY.



The trophy was a collaborative effort between the league office and the designers at World Trophies in Providence, RI. It features a five-sided, two-tiered, solid wood base and a custom cast on top. The Atlantic Hockey logo is prominently displayed on the first tier with the descriptive plate going above it on tier two. The past champions will all be listed and additional champions will have their plates added to the trophy as the years pass by.



The new trophy will remain located in the conference office in Winthrop, MA, and each tournament winner, after celebrating with the trophy on the ice, will receive a smaller, commemorative trophy for their respective trophy cases. The trophy will also display the custom cast on top, however, it has a more traditional, four-sided base.



The new Atlantic Hockey Tournament Champion trophy is still being manufactured, however, if it is completed in time, the trophy may be making its way to each Atlantic Hockey arena this season. That way fans will be able to get a close look at the new trophy before their teams have a chance to win it in March.



Additionally, the trophy is under consideration for being named through the new Atlantic Hockey naming guidelines. A decision and subsequent announcement will be made in the coming days regarding the naming of the Atlantic Hockey Tournament Champion trophy.
