 Trophy
An annual award to the player selected as the most proficient in his first year of competition.
 History
From 1936-37 until his death in 1943, Frank Calder, NHL President, bought a
trophy each year to be given permanently to the outstanding rookie. After
Calder's death, the NHL presented the Calder Memorial Trophy in his memory and
the trophy is to be kept in perpetuity. To be eligible for the award, a player
cannot have played more than 25 games in any single preceding season nor in six
or more games in each of any two preceding seasons in any major professional
league. Beginning in 1990-91, to be eligible for this award a player must
not have attained his twenty-sixth birthday by September 15th of the season
in which he is eligible.
