Finishing third in league scoring with 126 points, Ulf Nilsson would lead the Winnipeg Jets to their third straight Avco Cup Finals, pitting them against the New England Whalers, finishing them off in four games for the Jets second Avco Cup championship. From that championship, we offer this highly desirable 1977-78 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. An additional plaque is affixed to the reverse listing all team members and “Presented to the Winnipeg Jets - World Champions – 1977-78.” Produced by Balfour, the trophy presents well, with tarnishing seen to the base, middle band and bowl as well as the plaques with a small ding seen on the black background as well. Hailing from his personal collection, a signed LOA from Ulf Nilsson will accompany.
