NHL Awards Tonight

The NHL will be giving out their annual awards tonight in Las Vegas. The ceremony will be held at The Wynn which is a beautiful hotel & casino -- trust us, we've stayed there! Some of the biggest awards are the Hart Trophy for league mvp, Norris Trophy for best defenseman, Vezina Trophy for best goaltender and the Calder Trophy for rookie of the year. The NHL really has a good number of trophies so for a complete list of trophies, nominees and event a list of past winners for each -- visit the NHL's website and spend a little time learning about these historic trophies and the heroes they are named after. That is one thing I have always loved about the NHL, they honor their roots. Unfortunately they moved away from the old naming conventions for their conferences and divisions and "dumbed it down" a little bit, but the trophies are still in honor of the greats of the game and that is the way it should be done.
