The Vezina Trophy
AWARDED BY: National Hockey League (1927 to present)
An annual award "to the goalkeeper adjudged to be the best at his position" as voted by
the general managers of each of the 30 clubs. Leo Dandurand, Louis Letourneau and Joe
Cattarinich, former owners of the Montreal Canadiens, presented the trophy to the National
Hockey League in 1926-27 in memory of Georges Vezina,
oustanding goalkeeper of the Canadiens who collapsed during an NHL game on November 28, 1925,
and died of tuberculosis a few months later.
NOTE: Until 1981-82, the goalkeeper(s) of the team allowing the fewest number of
goals during the regular season were awarded the Vezina Trophy.
