History

The trophy was introduced during the league's inaugural season in 1988 by the league's Board of Governors and was named after ECHL founding father and first Erie Panthers owner, Henry Brabham. While only two of all the Brabham Cup winners have gone on to win the Kelly Cup in their respective years, it remains the most likely position to produce the cup winner, because the Brabham Cup winner is guaranteed home-ice advantage in all rounds of the Kelly Cup playoffs, provided the team advances to each round.

Only four teams, the Knoxville Cherokees, Louisiana IceGators, Toledo Storm, and Wheeling Thunderbirds have won the Brabham Cup on multiple occasions, each with two. However, only the Thunderbirds remain in the ECHL, having changed their name to the Wheeling Nailers before the start of the 1995-96 season.
