At the end of the 1973 season, the Booster Club approached the Penguins with an idea for a new award to be presented to a player at the end of the year. The idea was for 5 different club members to vote on the three players that they felt played the "best game" that evening and for these votes to be tallied over the season. The award known as the "Three Stars Award" would be presented to the winning player on the ice during the award ceremony at the end of the season. This award has since been renamed the "A.T. Caggiano Memorial Booster Club Cup". Also the name and picture of the winning player would be engraved on the Booster Club Cup Trophy. The player receives a plaque commemorating their achievement. All Booster Club members are encouraged to vote throughout the season, the only requirement is that you must attend the game that you vote on. Winners of this award are as follows:
