NHL Awards 2013

The 2013 NHL Awards are ice hockey honors for the 2012/13 NHL season and were presented in Chicago on June 14th and 15th .

Due to the lockout , which delayed the start of the season until January 2013, the awards show in Las Vegas was canceled and the awards were instead given before the second game of the final series of the Stanley Cup in front of the United Center in Chicago. The award-winning players were usually only added by phone. The nominations for the individual awards were published between May 6th and 20th.
