Ray Miron President's Cup

The Ray Miron President's Cup goes to the play-off champion of the Central Hockey League. The Ray Miron President's Cup has been awarded to teams since 2002. Prior to 2002, the playoff winner was awarded the Ray Miron Cup. The current cup is named after Ray Miron, one of the league's co-founders. When the CHL and the Western Professional Hockey League merged following their 2000-01 seasons, the CHL added a piece of the WPHL's tradition by renaming the trophy the Ray Miron President's Cup. From 1997-2001, the WPHL's playoff champion was awarded the President's Cup. The Playoff Most Valuable Player award is also given out as part of the Ray Miron President's Cup Championship ceremonies. Ron Handy is the only player to win the award on multiple occasions.

12 different franchises have won the CHL Championship, with five (Wichita, Oklahoma City, Memphis/Mississippi, Laredo and Colorado) winning multiple times. The five franchises hold the record for most championships won with two. Current possession of the trophy belongs to the Texas Brahmas, who won it in 2009 with a five game victory over the Colorado Eagles.
