Toyota Cup (Flyers)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Toyota Cup is an annual award given out by the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League (NHL) to the player who earns the most points from Star of the Game selections throughout the regular season, "five points for being the First Star, three for Second Star, and one for Third Star."[1] The Tri-State Toyota Dealers sponsor the award and make a donation of $5,000 in the winning player's name to the player's favorite charity.[1] The most recent recipient is Martin Biron.[2]
[edit] History
The award was first given out following the 2000–01 season and has been awarded seven times to five different players. With three Toyota Cups, Simon Gagne is the only player to win it more than once.
