Vezina Trophy
The Vezina Trophy is an annual award given to the goalkeeper adjudged to be the
best at this position as voted by the general managers of all NHL clubs.
Leo Dandurand, Louis Letourneau, and Joe Cattarinich, former owners of the
Montreal Canadiens, presented the trophy to the National Hockey League in
1926-27 in memory of Georges Vezina, outstanding goalkeeper of the Canadiens,
who collapsed during an NHL game Nov. 28, 1925, and died of tuberculosis a few
months later.
Until the 1981-82 season, the goalkeeper(s) of the team allowing the fewest
number of goals during the regular season were awarded the Vezina Trophy.
