The BILL MASTERTON MEMORIAL
TROPHY is an annual award under the trusteeship of the Professional
Hockey Writers' Association to the National Hockey League player who
best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and
dedication to hockey. The winner is selected in a poll of all
chapters of the PHWA at the end of the regular season. A grant from
the PHWA is awarded annually to the Bill Masterton Scholarship Fund,
based in Bloomington, MN, in the name of the Masterton Trophy winner.
The trophy was presented by the NHL Writers' Association in 1968 to
commemorate the late William Masterton, a player of the Minnesota
North Stars, who exhibited to a high degree the qualities of
perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey.
