The Walter Gretzky Cup

The Walter Gretzky Cup is the championship trophy awarded annually to the View Askew Street Hockey League (VASHL) team that claims victory at the Walter Gretzky Street Hockey Tournament, held in Brantford, Ontario. Named in honor of Walter Gretzky, the cup symbolizes excellence, competition, and the league’s deep connection to hockey culture.

Surrounded by legends and traditions, the Walter Gretzky Cup has become an iconic prize within VASHL. The oldest and most celebrated ritual is the victory toast, where the winning team drinks beer or diet cola straight from the cup, a tradition that has endured since the tournament’s early years. With each passing season, the cup continues to cement its legacy, serving as both a testament to skill and a trophy of unforgettable moments.
