The Toledo Walleye clinched the 2021-22 Brabham Cup championship on Saturday by virtue of their 9-2 win over Kalamazoo. The Brabham Cup is the trophy awarded annually to the ECHL team that finishes with the best record in the regular season. The recipient is guaranteed home-ice advantage throughout its participation in the Kelly Cup Playoffs. With the win, Toledo improved its record to 49-19-4 for a .708 points percentage. It is the third time in the last eight seasons that the Walleye have captured the Brabham Cup (2014-15 and 2016-17) and the fifth time a Toledo ECHL team has captured the Brabham Cup as the Toledo Storm won regular-season championships in 1991-92 and 2002-03. Toledo captured the Central Division regular-season title, marking the club’s fifth division title since 2014-15. The Walleye have advanced to the Kelly Cup Playoffs in six consecutive seasons, and eight times in 11 seasons overall since their inaugural season in 2009-10. The award is named in recognition of Henry Brabham, who founded the ECHL in 1988-89 with five teams in four states. Brabham, who was the first inductee into the ECHL Hall of Fame in 2008, owned three of the original five teams. The dedication of the Virginia businessman was crucial to the league surviving to span from coast-to-coast while advancing over 700 players and countless coaches, on-ice officials and front office personnel to the National Hockey League.
