Description
 
This extremely scarce, salesman sample Hart Memorial Trophy, is the "oldest and most prestigious individual award in hockey", it is awarded annually to the "player adjudged most valuable to his team" in the National Hockey League (NHL). The Hart Memorial Trophy has been awarded 85 times to 52 different players since its beginnings in 1924. Each year, members of the Professional Hockey Writers' Association vote to determine the player who was the most valuable to his team during the regular season. This trophy is all original and is the same as what the player received except for the name plates. A great trophy! History The Hart Memorial Trophy is named in honor of Canadian Dr. David Hart. Dr. Hart, who donated the original trophy to the NHL, was the father of Cecil Hart, a former Coach and General Manager of the Montreal Canadians hockey club. The Hart Trophy was first awarded at the conclusion of the 1923�24 NHL season. The winner of the first Hart Trophy was Frank Nighbor of the Ottawa Senators. The original Hart Trophy was retired in Hockey Hall of Fame in 1960, and the NHL began presenting a new trophy, which was dubbed the Hart Memorial Trophy in its place. With the exceptions of Tommy Anderson, Al Rollins and Eric Lindros, every eligible player who won the Hart Trophy has been inducted into the Hall of Fame. SOLD
