This off-season we finally got an actual trophy built for the yearly league Champions. This is our Stanley Cup… every year it will go to the league Champion for the off-season, to return to the CTL Board in the Spring. It will be the champions duty to take it to your local awards shop and have them engrave the new champions name on the trophy. This trophy is engraved with the name of every championship team from every year this league has existed, going back to 1989. Over that time this league has gone by many names (United Technologies Corporation Baseball Association, the UBA Federal League, the United Baseball Association, the UBA Manchester Twilight League, the Manchester Twilight League, and now the Connecticut Twilight League).

The full list of Champions is:
1989 – Pratt & Whitney A’s… 1990 – Pratt & Whitney A’s… 1991 – Nulli’s Italia… 1992 – Nulli’s Italia… 1993 – Main Pub A’s… 1994 – Manchester Dragons… 1995 – Manchester Dragons… 1996 – Dynamark… 1997 – Main Pub A’s… 1998 – Longnecks… 1999 – Main Pub A’s… 2000 – Main Pub A’s… 2001 – Main Pub A’s… 2002 – Manchester Rangers… 2003 – Manchester Rangers… 2004 – Manchester Rangers… 2005 – Evan’s Insurance… 2006 – Newington Indians… 2007 – Bristol Knights… 2008 – Wethersfield Royals… 2009 – Willimantic Ridges… 2010 – Willimantic Ridges… 2011 – Bristol Knights… 2012 – Elmer’s… 2013 – Glastonbury Pirates… 2014 – Bristol Knights… and then we have spots for 6 more champions before we have to add panels or re-engrave the plates.
