The Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy is awarded annually to the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey.
The award is named after Masterson, who is the only on-ice causality in NHL history after suffering a head injury during a game in 1968.
Every team nominates a player for the award.
Arizona Coyotes goalie Connor Ingram won the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy last year after putting together a great season despite nearly retiring from hockey in 2021 due to clinical depression.
