Team Trophies work, theres a reason every hockey team has one.
I've had a few, I started with a soccer ball that everyone signed and you got to keep it until the next game, I've used one of those stupid bowling trophies they give you on your birthday, a Calgary Flames car flag (I needed something so I rummaged through my car, it was that or jumper cables), I tend to find that the more ridiculous the trophy the more prestigious it is to have earned it.
Granted, thats with teenage boys, they're insane.
