The Tale of the Cup The story of The Left Coast Cup begins at the Meadowlands, home of the New Jersey Devils Fan Club. A number of club members proposed that a trophy should be contested by the three Metro New York area NHL teams. It would be called the Metro Mug and would be awarded annually to the winner of the three way series between the Devils', Islanders, and Rangers. The team earning the most points during the regular season would claim the award for it's own fan/booster club. The idea was quickly approved by the other three clubs and the special "Mug" was introduced during the 1990-91 season. Since that time the Islanders Booster Club has won the award three times, the Rangers and Devils once each. Not long after the trophy was introduced,
Dave Levin, a member of the Los Angeles Kings Booster Club had a chance to
see the "Mug" on one of his many road trips to the Big Apple. He
loved the concept of the contest and suggested a Soon proposals were sent to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim Booster Club and Los Angeles Kings Booster Club for their approval. After getting a thumbs up from down south an informal name contest was initiated. Numerous entries were included in the name contest, including such gems as; The I-5 Cup, The Interstate Invitational Series, The Gold Rust Cup, The Fault Line Trophy, The After-Shock Award, The Goal Rush Grail, The Malice Chalice, The Un-Civil War Memorial, The Left Coast Cup, and The Goalie Grail. The Left Coast Cup won the name contest, and competition began during the 1995-1996 season.
