The Calder Memorial Trophy is awarded the the NHL's best rookie player at the conclusion of the regular-season. The award is named after the first president of the NHL, Frank Calder. The minor league AHL (American Hockey League) awards its champion the Calder Cup, as the league is a 'Triple-A' affiliate of the NHL.
This award is the NHL's Rookie of the Year Award, first won by Carl Voss in 1932. Many notable players have won this award such as Alexander Ovechkin, Evgeni Malkin and Auston Matthews. Moritz Seider of the Detroit Red Wings picked up the hardware in 2022, the second straight forward to win it after defenseman Cale Makar won the honors in 2020.
