The same trophy is reused every year for each of its awards. This makes the Polivanov Cup unique in Volkian sports, as the championship trophies of the country's other professional sport leagues are made new every year for that year's champion. Although only one trophy is used, the names of the winning teams and players are engraved every year on the Polivanov Cup. The same can be said for the other trophies reissued every year.
===Players===
There are numerous trophies awarded to players for their statistics during the regular season. They include, among others, the Leonid Alexandrov Trophy for the league scoring champion (goals and assists), the Damir Gorokhov Memorial Trophy for the goaltender(s) of the team with the fewest goals against them, and the Fyodor Krutikov Trophy for the goal-scoring leader.
The other player trophies are voted on by the team general managers or the Hockey Writers' Association of Volkia (HWAV). These individual awards are presented at a formal ceremony held after the completion of the playoffs. Arguably the most prestigious individual award is the Petrenko Memorial Trophy, which is awarded annually to the {{wp|Most Valuable Player}}. The 200 voting members of the HWAV vote on the player considered most valuable to his team during the regular season. The general managers of the VHL teams vote annually on the person they consider to be the best goaltender and awards them with the Tsyganov Trophy. The Daniil Yurasov Trophy is awarded annually to the Volkian Hockey League's best defenseman, the Somov Memorial Trophy is awarded annually to the league's top rookie, and the Viktoriya Usova Memorial Trophy is awarded to the player deemed to combine the highest degree of skill and sportsmanship; all three of these awards are voted on by members of the HWAV.
Besides the regular season awards, the Boris Leskov Trophy is awarded annually to the most valuable player during the VHL Polivanov Cup Playoffs. While the trophy rewards the player who performed exceptionally well during the entirety of the playoffs, it has never been awarded to a player whose team did not at least reach the Polivanov Cup Final. Additionally, the Pavel Aslanov Award is presented to the top coach in the league as selected by a poll of the VHL Broadcasters Association. The league publishes the names of the top three vote getters for all awards, then reveals the winner during the VHL Awards Ceremony.
Players, coaches, officials, and team builders who have had notable careers are eligible to be voted into the Volkian Hockey Hall of Fame. Players cannot enter until five years have passed since their last professional game. The Hall of Fame is located in Volkgoroda and holds exhibits about players, teams, VHL records, memorabilia, and VHL trophies, including the Polivanov Cup.
