Guide to the NHL Awards, and a Brief History of the Trophies | NHL 101

[@malenametcalf4773]

I started this series knowing nothing about hockey (still need to watch the history videos) but now I can say that I know a little bit more. I guess there is no better time to start watching it than now!

[@CheapSeatsSports]

Glad you're enjoying it! Hockey is fast so it's easy to miss things but the playoffs are a great place to start and the finals are coming up soon!

[@courtlandcarmichael1139]

This series is fantastic, and exactly what I was looking for as a new NHL fan. Can’t wait to see more future videos, and hopefully one about penalties too. Thanks again!

[@CheapSeatsSports]

Where will be at least a couple on penalties don't worry!

[@raphaelbarreto2486]

This was incredibly helpful as a football (soccer) fan. All these trophies with different names made me very confused initially.

[@jeffsilverberg5848]

If the NHL would televise more games on Broadcast TV, it would really create more of a fan base, and increase revenue. Toronto televises all the Leaf's games, home and away. I know the city likes the Raptors more.

[@Cradien]

Thanks for this, super useful! It's quite mind-boggling to me now many different ones there are!

[@CheapSeatsSports]

Most sports have a ton of awards (at least in north America) but hockey is especially confusing because they all have people they are named after.

This was very helpful.

[@CheapSeatsSports]

Glad to hear it!

[@jacobfreeman2016]

[@adamarad2090]

[@CheapSeatsSports]

Glad to help!

[@DanielMCFC_]

Thanks for this.Didn't know there were that many individual awards lol

[@Artusxxx0071]

Very helpful! Cheers mate

[@LouGermain]

super useful series!!!!

[@CheapSeatsSports]

Glad you think so!

[@logandetwiler4483]

Did you cover the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl and the Prince of Wales trophy

[@CheapSeatsSports]

No, they are probably worth mentioning I suppose, but no one really pays attention to conference championships. Unless you win the Stanley cup it doesn't matter a ton, and if you do, it's overshadowed.

[@Kenny-jw7fg]

Great video series! How did you get so into hockey growing up without a team?

[@CheapSeatsSports]

It's such a fun sport to watch I always enjoyed watching it when I could. Mostly tho I think it's just that I love pro sports. Glad you are enjoying the videos and thanks for the comment!

[@Nuka0420]

Im thinking he is from Seattle? They get a new team this year! I don't like their team's name however

[@CheapSeatsSports]

@@Nuka0420 I sure am, Go Kraken! I know there are some who don't love the name and that's fair, but I think most do including me. Either way it's here to stay!

[@Nuka0420]

@@CheapSeatsSports I am from Detroit. GO WINGS!

[@555dking]

When does the awards get announced each year?

[@CheapSeatsSports]

Near the end of the playoffs typically or after.

[@sergiofartlips]

I am a hockey expert now

[@logandetwiler4483]

And also the Bill Masterton Trophy

[@logandetwiler4483]

I remember the Stanley Cup was dropped and broken

[@KibblezanBitz]

Very inaccurate reading reading of Art Ross' playing career. He had 56 goals and 72 total points across 131 games in the National Hockey Association, the NHL's direct predecessor and basically the NHL in every way besides legally. While true he wasn't a huge scorer (he was a defenceman; trophies were named after important figures in league history or the person who donatrd the physical trophy to the NHL) according to Wikipedia he also helped pioneer the rushing of the puck by a defenceman instead of just passing it. As for his three NHL gsmes, he was at the end of a career spanning over a decade at this point and he played for the Montreal Wanderers, whose arena burned down mere weeks into the season, forcing them to fold. He merely opted to retire rather than play elsewhere.

[@logandetwiler4483]

My favorite trophy is the Vezina

[@Mobil179]

Who TF is Martin Broderu ?

[@CheapSeatsSports]

One of the best goalies ever who played for the devil's a little while ago.

[@samuelattias1958]

Who Will Be Awarded?

[@nohandsinthebag]

why does hockey have so many awards? this is crazy lol

[@CheapSeatsSports]

You should see baseball.
