Calder Memorial Trophy
The Calder Memorial Trophy is an ice hockey trophy in the National Hockey League (NHL). It is awarded annually to the best newcomer to the league ( rookie ).
A rookie-of-the-year award was presented for the first time in the 1932/33 NHL season , but it was only later that a trophy was created for this honor. The trophy was called the Calder Trophy when it was introduced in the 1936/37 season and was named after Frank Calder , the first and then incumbent President of the NHL. After Calder's sudden death in 1943, the trophy was renamed the Calder Memorial Trophy.
Award
In order to count as a rookie for the trophy to be awarded, field players must have played at least half of the regular season games in the relevant season (since the 1995/96 season there are 41), goalkeepers must have played at least 25 games on the ice . In addition, players may not have played more than 25 games in a previous season or more than six games in any two previous seasons. This rule includes not only the NHL but every professional league. Probably the best-known example of this regulation was Wayne Gretzky , who set numerous rook records in his first NHL season in 1979/80 , but was not approved for the Calder Memorial Trophy, as he had already played a full season in the World Hockey professional league with the Edmonton Oilers Association had played.
Since the 1990/91 season , only newcomers to the league who are 26 or under on September 15 of their debut season are considered. The reason for this was that in 1990 Sergei Makarov won the trophy at the age of 31, but had already been professionally active in the Soviet Union for a long time and has already won two Olympic victories. With that one could no longer regard him as a new professional.
The trophy is awarded annually through a vote by the Professional Hockey Writers' Association , in which almost 180 journalists were entitled to vote in 2011. It takes place at the end of the regular season . Each voter can award 10, 7, 5, 3 or one point to a player of his choice on his ballot paper. After the vote, the top three players (finalists) will be announced, but not their order. The trophy is only after the conclusion of the Stanley Cup - Play-offs during the annual NHL Awards awarded.
The current title holder of the 2018/19 season is the Swede Elias Pettersson from the Vancouver Canucks .
Winner since 1933
A total of 85 players have been awarded since the trophy was introduced. In 2005, the award was not given due to the lockout and the associated loss of the entire season.

Leaderboards
Almost 70% of the previous winners of the Calder Memorial Trophy come from Canada . This is followed by just four other nations, the USA , Russia , Sweden and Finland , from which at least two players were named the best rookie in the NHL. There was also a winner each from Great Britain and Slovakia . Most often, the trophy was given to center forward , so-called center. In total, around two thirds of all winners played as strikers. In addition, goalkeepers have been honored much more often than defenders . The players who were awarded the trophy were on average just under 22 years old. Most of them were between the ages of 19 and 21. So far, only two players have won the award, Jeff Skinner and Nathan MacKinnon , who were 18 at the end of the regular season . Dale Hawerchuk celebrated his 19th birthday in the last main round match of the 1981/82 season .
So far, players from the Toronto Maple Leafs have won the award most often, each of which was successful ten times.

Laureate with other awards in the same year
To date, no outfield player has succeeded in receiving another NHL award in the same season in addition to the Calder Memorial Trophy. However, the goalkeeper Ed Belfour , who was honored as the best rookie in 1991, also won the Vezina Trophy for the best goalkeeper as well as the William M. Jennings Trophy and the Trico Goaltender Award , which was then awarded for the best catch quota . Three other goalkeepers, Tom Barrasso , Tony Esposito and Frank Brimsek , also managed to win the Calder Memorial Trophy and the Vezina Trophy in one season. In addition, nine winners have been elected to the NHL First All-Star Team and seven to the Second All-Star Team, most recently Steve Mason in 2009.
All winners of the Calder Memorial Trophy have so far been elected to the NHL All-Rookie Team at the same time . The only exception was Pawel Bure in 1992. At that time, the choice for the all-rookie team in Sturm was divided between the three positions of left and right wingers and center, where the best new professional was chosen. Since Bure played in the season as a left and right winger, he did not take first place in the election in either position. For the 1992/93 season , this rule was changed and the division into the three forward positions was canceled.
