The Wooden Spoon is an unofficial yearly mock-award given to the team that finishes last in the league standings. Since 1978, nine teams have been awarded the wooden spoon. [[Hartford Hockey]] holds the record for most wooden spoons, with 21. The Plymouth Fishermen are the most recent recipients, having scored 17 points to finish last in [[VHL 2024|2024]].

Four teams have won both the wooden spoon and the league title: [[Halifax Hockey Club]] (Champions in 2019; wooden spoons in 1997 and 1998), the [[Mainers]] (Champions in 2022; wooden spoon in 1988), the [[Providence Doves]] (Champions in 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2012; wooden spoon in 1989), and [[EH Bas-Canada]] (Champions in 1987, wooden spoon in 2010). Bas-Canada are the only team to have won their wooden spoon after winning their championship.

The Providence Doves are the only team to have won both a Double and a wooden spoon.
