Hart Memorial Trophy
Encyclopedia
The Hart Memorial Trophy, originally known as the Hart Trophy, the "oldest and most prestigious individual award in hockey", is awarded annually to the "player adjudged most valuable to his team"
in the National Hockey League
(NHL). The Hart Memorial Trophy has been awarded 86 times to 53 different players since its beginnings in 1924. Each year, members of the Professional Hockey Writers' Association
vote to determine the player who was the most valuable to his team during the regular season. It is a companion to the Ted Lindsay Award, which is awarded to the League's Most Valuable Player as judged by the members of the NHL Players Association
.
The Hart Memorial Trophy is named in honor of Canadian Dr. David Hart. Dr. Hart, who donated the original trophy to the NHL, was the father of Cecil Hart
, a former Coach and General Manager of the Montreal Canadiens
hockey club. The Hart Trophy was first awarded at the conclusion of the 1923–24 NHL season. The winner of the first Hart Trophy was Frank Nighbor
of the Ottawa Senators
. The original Hart Trophy was retired in Hockey Hall of Fame
in 1960, and the NHL began presenting a new trophy, which was dubbed the Hart Memorial Trophy in its place. With the exceptions of Tommy Anderson
, Al Rollins
and Eric Lindros
, every eligible player who won the Hart Trophy has been inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Wayne Gretzky
won the award a record nine times during his career, eight consecutively. He has been named MVP more times than any other player in the history of the other three North American Major Professional Leagues (Major League Baseball
, National Basketball Association
, and National Football League
). Barry Bonds
is second, having won the MVP award seven times in Major League Baseball. Gretzky and his Edmonton Oilers
teammate Mark Messier
are the only players to win the Hart Trophy with more than one team. In 1990, Mark Messier
took the Hart over Ray Bourque
by a margin of two votes, the difference being a single first-place vote.
Players from the Montreal Canadiens
have won the award sixteen times; players from Boston Bruins
are second with twelve winners, and the Detroit Red Wings
and Edmonton Oilers
have seen players win the award nine times. Joe Thornton
became the first Hart Trophy winner to switch clubs during his winning campaign in 2005–06 NHL season, having played for both the Boston Bruins
and San Jose Sharks
that year.
The voting is conducted at the end of the regular season by members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association, and each individual voter ranks their top five candidates on a 10-7-5-3-1 points system. Three finalists are named and the trophy is awarded at the NHL Awards ceremony after the playoffs.
The closest the voting for the Hart Trophy has ever come was in the 2001–02 season, when Jose Theodore
and Jarome Iginla
tied in the total voting. The tiebreaker for choosing the Hart Trophy winner in such a case is number of first-place votes: Theodore, who had 86 first-place votes to Iginla's 82, claimed it.
In 2008, NHL.com's official online shop came under criticism after they placed a T-shirt advertising Alexander Ovechkin
as the Hart winner on sale a week before the winner was revealed. A spokesperson for the NHL said "in an effort to offer our fans the merchandise they want in a timely manner following an event such as the NHL Awards, our licensees prepare product for all possible outcomes. In this situation, the link for one of the possible products became live early through an error by our e-commerce provider." Ovechkin was later revealed to be the winner.
