Jack Adams Award
The Jack Adams Award is an annual award presented by the National Hockey League
Broadcasters' Association to the NHL coach adjudged to have contributed the
most to his team's success. The winner is selected in a poll among members of
the NHL Broadcasters' Association at the end of the regular season.
The award was presented by the NHL Broadcasters' Association in 1974 to
commemorate the late Jack Adams, former coach and general manager of the
Detroit Red Wings. His lifetime dedication to hockey has served as an
inspiration to all who aspire to further the game.
