NHL All-Rookie Team
The NHL All-Rookie Team has been assembled at the end of each season by the Professional Hockey Writers' Association since 1983 from the best new professionals (rookies) of the National Hockey League . Each team consists of a goalkeeper, two defenders and three attackers, with no division into wingers or centers.
particularities
- Pawel Bure is the only winner of the Calder Memorial Trophy for the best new professional who did not make the all-rookie team. Since he played both as a left and right winger during the season, he could not be assigned to any position and since 1992 was still divided into left and right wingers as well as center, Bure was not elected to the all-rookie team . From the 1992/93 season, the rule was changed and the division into the three types of strikers was lifted.
- Jamie Storr was on the All-Rookie Team in 1998 and 1999. The reason was that there was a rule that if you didn't play at least 25 games you would keep your status as a new professional. The curious thing was that in 1999 he played his fifth NHL season, he only played five times in his first three years and only played 17 games in 1998, so he came back to the all-rookie team in 1999. Jake Allen was also twice in the all-rookie team , who was appointed based on the same rule in 2013 and 2015.
- Only two teams have managed to provide the goalkeeper for the all-rookie team in two consecutive years (with the exception of the two-time appointment of Jamie Storr). The Montréal Canadiens made it in 1985 with Steve Penney and in 1986 with Patrick Roy . The Chicago Blackhawks achieved the same feat in 1991 with Ed Belfour and in 1992 with Dominik Hašek .
