The Turner Cup was awarded annually to the championship winning team of the International Hockey League (IHL) from 1945-2001. The IHL was a minor ice hockey league predominantly based in the Midwestern United States. The league began expanding in the 1980's with additional teams located in the western and southern US and two Canadian cities.
The trophy was named after Joe Turner, a young goaltender who was killed in World War II. Just before serving with the US Army, he played in his first and only NHL game with the Detroit Red Wings. The Cup currently resides alongside several other retired trophies in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
