Boardwalk Cup



The Boardwalk Cup was the league playoff championship trophy for the Eastern Amateur Hockey League and its' successor league the Eastern Hockey League.

The trophy presently resides in the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, where it has been since the mid-1990's after being in the possession of former Syracuse Blazers player Brian Elwell for about 20 years after the league had dissolved into the North American Hockey League (1973-1977) and the Southern Hockey League(1973-1977). Both leagues had created new championship trophies upon formation and the trophy had fallen into obscurity.
