History
Prior to World War II, the Anderson Trophy (also sometimes referred to as the Anderson Cup) was a rink tournament hosted by the Kirkcaldy Ice Rink. The Fife Flyers claimed the trophy in 1939.
After the war, the trophy was awarded to the winner of the Scottish National League playoffs. It served this purpose from 1946 to 1954, after which the Scottish National League merged with the English National League to form the British National League.
