Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy
The Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy is an annual award under the trusteeship of
the Professional Hockey Writers' Association and is given to the National Hockey
League player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance,
sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey. The winner is selected in a poll of
all chapters of the PHWA at the end of the regular season.
A grant from the PHWA is awarded annually to the Bill Masterton Scholarship
Fund, based in Bloomington, Minn., in the name of the Masterton Trophy winner.
The trophy was presented by the NHL Writers' Association in 1968 to commemorate
the late William Masterton, a player for the Minnesota North Stars, who
exhibited, to a high degree, the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and
dedication to hockey. Masterton died on Jan. 15, 1968, after an injury
sustained during a hockey game.
