Claim: To win Lew Hayman Trophy, each team in the East Division nominates a player and in 1995 the Hayman trophy was awarded to the Martin Trophy runner-up.
Evidence: Each team in the East Division nominates a player, from which the winner is chosen. As part of the failed American expansion in 1995, the Hayman trophy was awarded to the Martin Trophy runner-up, as the South Division teams (to which other East Division titles were assigned to that year) did not have an import quota.
