The Ted Lindsay Award: Recognizing Excellence in the NHL

A Legacy of Recognition

The Ted Lindsay Award, formerly known as the Lester B. Pearson Award, is an annual honor bestowed upon the most outstanding player in the National Hockey League (NHL). This prestigious award is voted on by the members of the NHL Players' Association (NHLPA).

Gretzky's Dominance

Wayne Gretzky, the legendary hockey icon, holds the record for the most Ted Lindsay Awards with an impressive five wins throughout his illustrious career. His exceptional talent and unparalleled achievements have cemented his status as one of the greatest players to ever grace the ice.

Ted Lindsay, the award's namesake, was an exceptional player in his own right. He was selected to Canada's Sports Hall of Fame in 2002 and inducted into the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame in 2009. His legacy continues to inspire generations of hockey players.
