His sophomore season in North America, 1975-76 saw Ulf Nilsson and the Winnipeg Jets topped the WHA league standings and lose only one game in the postseason, that was capped off by a sweep of the Houston Aeros in the Avco World Trophy Finals giving Winnipeg its first WHA Championship. Finishing the season with 114 points, we offer this highly desirable 1975-76 Winnipeg Jets WHA Avco Cup Championship trophy was presented to superstar Ulf Nilsson. Standing 13” tall and featuring a silver-plated bowl mounted atop a Lucite section containing a pewter globe, “The Avco World Trophy” and “Ulf Nilsson – Winnipeg Jets” is engraved on two affixed silver plaques placed directly beneath. Two additional plaques are affixed to the reverse including one listing all team members, while the other sports “Presented to the Winnipeg Jets - World Champions – 1975-76.” Produced by Balfour, the trophy presents well, with tarnishing seen to the base, middle band and bowl as well as the plaques with a couple scratches seen on the black background as well. Hailing from his personal collection, a signed LOA from Ulf Nilsson will accompany.
