\"Lady<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Lady Ming Trophy<\/strong> is an esteemed annual award presented at the Walter Gretzky Street Hockey Tournament (WGSHT)<\/strong><\/a>, celebrating the VASHL team that best embodies sportsmanship and camaraderie while also delivering exceptional jersey design.<\/p>\n

At the conclusion of each WGSHT tournament, voting takes place, with every active team receiving one vote to help determine the trophy\u2019s recipient. This peer-driven selection process ensures that the award honors a team recognized by fellow competitors for its spirit, respect, and visual identity.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Named in honor of \u00a0Ming Chen<\/strong><\/a>, the Lady Ming Trophy acknowledges his impact on View Askew Productions and VASHL culture, recognizing him as a beloved figure within the community. His enduring connection to the league and its traditions makes the Lady Ming Trophy a fitting tribute to the values of respect, sportsmanship, and creative expression that define VASHL.<\/p>\n

The name is also a play on words referencing the Lady Byng Trophy<\/strong>, the prestigious NHL award presented to the player who best exhibits sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability. Just as the Lady Byng honors fair play in hockey, the Lady Ming Trophy celebrates team spirit, sportsmanship, and outstanding jersey design, ensuring that excellence in both competition and camaraderie is recognized in VASHL.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Over the years, the Lady Ming Trophy has been awarded to teams that best exemplify sportsmanship, camaraderie, and outstanding jersey design, with each winner leaving their mark on VASHL history. The SModawa 37s<\/strong><\/a> claimed the honor in 2024, adding their name to a storied list that includes the Golgothans<\/a> <\/strong>(2023, 2017), LA Mings<\/a><\/strong> (2022, 2025), Clerks<\/a> (<\/strong>2019), Four Color Demons<\/a><\/strong> (2018), View Askew Girls<\/a> <\/strong>(2016), and Funployees <\/a><\/strong>(2015). Each recipient has contributed to the spirit and culture of the league, creating memorable moments that extend beyond competition. Whether through their team unity, iconic aesthetics, or undeniable presence on the rink, these champions have embodied the very essence of VASHL\u2019s unique blend of street hockey and fandom.<\/p>\n
