Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy


The Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy is awarded "to the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey." The trophy is awarded at the end of each season by a poll of the Professional Hockey Writers' Association. A $2,500 grant from the PWHA is awarded annually to the Bill Masterton Scholarship Fund. Bill Masterton played for the Minnesota North Stars who exhibited those qualities for which the trophy is awarded, perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey. Masterton died on January 15, 1968. That same year the trophy was presented to the NHL.
