The Robertson Cup is a 6-day, round-robin tournament held at the end of the NAHL season. The trophy is awarded to the national playoff champion of the NAHL. The oldest junior hockey trophy in the United States, the Robertson Cup is named in honor of Chuck Robertson, a pioneer of junior hockey in the NAHL and youth hockey in the state of Michigan. Chuck Robertson was the owner of the Paddock Pools Saints when they won a record seven straight NAHL championships from 1976-83. The most recent tournament was the 2011 Robertson Cup hosted at the Landon Arena in Topeka, Kansas. The next tournament will be the 2012 Robertson Cup hosted by the Texas Tornado at the Dr. Pepper Arena.
