[TheLastOlympian07 2,388]

Calgary Wrangers - 71 Trophies, 5 Continental Cups, 8 Time finalist, 5 Victory Cups

HC Davos Dynamo - 50 Trophies, 3 Continental Cups, 4 Time finalist, 3 Victory Cups

Helsinki Titans - 30 Trophies, 2 Continental Cups, 5 Time finalist, 0 Victory Cups

New York Americans - 16 Trophies, 1 Continental Cup, 2 Time Finalist, 2 Victory Cups

Riga Reign - 26 Trophies, 2 Continental Cups, 7 Time Finalist, 2 Victory Cups

Seattle Bears - 60 Trophies, 4 Continental Cups, 6 Time Finalist, 3 Victory Cups

Toronto Legion - 34 Trophies, 1 Continental Cup, 3 Time Finalist, 2 Victory Cups

Vasteras IK - 30 Trophies, 1 Continental Cup, 3 Time Finalist, 2 Victory Cups

 

In my humble opinion, I think it comes down to Calgary or Seattle. Both have high trophy numbers with 71 and 60. They are the only 2 franchises to have more than 60. They are also very close in Continental Cups with 5 for CGY and 4 for SEA. They also combined for 14 final appearances in the 19 seasons with 8 going to CGY and 6 for SEA. However, Calgary comes in with 5 Victory Cups to Seattle's 3.

 

On the other end of the spectrum, we have the Hamilton Canucks/New York Americans who were pretty pitiful with 16 trophies and 1 Cup and only 2 final appearances. Here is my ranking:

 

1. Calgary Wranglers

2. Seattle Bears

3. HC Davos Dynamo

4. Helsinki Titans

5. Riga Reign

6. Toronto Legion

7. Vasteras IK

8. New York Americans
