History

Patrick Trophy

The New York Rangers presented this trophy to the NHL in 1966 to honor the team's long-time coach and general manager.

Recipients are selected for "outstanding service to hockey in the United States." The award committee includes the NHL president, a representative of the Rangers, Hall of Fame members, and media representatives.

The Patrick Trophy is unique among the NHL awards. Although it's presented annually, it's often given for lifetime service or for accomplishments over a considerable period of time, and there have been as many as four winners in a single year.
