Vezina Trophy

An annual award "to the goalkeeper adjudged to be the best at his position" as voted by the general managers of the 26 NHL clubs. Over-all winner receives $10,000, runners-up $6,000 and $4,000.

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 November 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.
