In 1981 the WCHA was presented the Broadmoor Trophy by the Broadmoor Hotel and Resort Complex of Colorado Springs, CO.

Since Michigan Tech was not a member of the league for the 1981-82 to 1983-84 seasons, the MacNaughton Cup could not be awarded to the WCHA regular season champion.  Therefore, the Broadmoor Trophy was actually presented to the WCHA regular season champion for the first three seasons instead of the playoff champion.

In the history of the WCHA the Golden Gophers have won the Broadmoor Trophy 7 times, once as the WCHA regular season champion and the rest as playoff champion.  Listed below are the years the Gophers won the Trophy, their league record, points received, win percentage and Gopher coach.
