The Broadmoor Trophy was commissioned as a replacement for the MacNaughton Cup, held in trust by Michigan Tech University. In 1981, Michigan Tech left the WCHA for the
Central Collegiate Hockey Association , taking the Cup with them. To fill the void, the Broadmoor Hotel presented a new trophy to the WCHA to award to their regular season champion.When Michigan Tech returned to the WCHA in
1984 , the school returned the MacNaughton Cup to the league. The MacNaughton Cup returned to being awarded to the WCHA regular season champion, while the Broadmoor Trophy began being awarded to the playoff champion.Previous winners
