1995 Goodall Cup

1995 substitute trophy awarded instead of the Goodall Cup

The 1995 Goodall Cup was the 68th edition of the inter-state ice hockey competition in Australia. It was won by South Australia, defeating New South Wales in front of a capacity crowd at Ringwood Ice Rink in Victoria, Australia. The previous years champions were New South Wales and the cup was not brought to the 1995 tournament, leaving Ice Hockey Australia needing to provide a substitute trophy. The mock trophy was not well received by the South Australian team and was destroyed and left on top of a caravan, never being brought back to their home in Adelaide, South Australia.

Chris Rurak won the John Nicholas Trophy as the most valuable player (MVP) of the tournament.
