WHL Playoff MVP

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Each year, the Western Hockey League awards a trophy to the Most Valuable Player in the Playoffs. The trophy has been sponsored by numerous corporate sponsors throughout its history, and is currently known as the airBC Trophy.

Starting with the 2007-08 season, the WHL quit awarding a playoff MVP and instead awarded Eastern and Western Conference Finals series MVP awards as well as a WHL Championship series MVP.
