The Ted Lindsay Award, formerly known as the Lester B. Pearson Award, is awarded annually to the National Hockey League's most outstanding player in the regular season as judged by the members of the NHL Players Association. It has been awarded 42 times to 24 different players since its beginnings in 1971. It is a companion to the Hart Memorial Trophy, which is awarded to the League's Most Valuable Player, as judged by members of the Professional Hockey Writers' Association. The award was renamed for Detroit Red Wings great Ted Lindsay, officially announced on April 29, 2010. ==History== The award was first handed out at the conclusion of the 1970–71 NHL season. It was named in honour of Lester B. Pearson, who was Prime Minister of Canada from 1963 to 1968, the recipient of the 1957 Nobel Peace Prize, and a former player and coach for the University of Toronto Varsity Blues men's ice hockey team.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lester B. Pearson Award history )〕 On April 29, 2010, the National Hockey League Players' Association announced that the award would be reintroduced as the Ted Lindsay Award to honor Hall of Famer Ted Lindsay for his skill, tenacity, leadership, and role in establishing the original Players' Association.〔 The voting for the trophy is conducted at the end of the regular season by the members of the NHL Players Association.〔 Wayne Gretzky won the award five times during his career. Members of the Pittsburgh Penguins have won the award the most number of times, with nine winners, followed by the Edmonton Oilers, with six winners.〔 The Lindsay Award is considered to be the companion of the Hart Memorial Trophy—fourteen players have won both trophies for the same season: Guy Lafleur ( and ), Gretzky (, , , and ), Mario Lemieux (, and ), Mark Messier ( and ), Brett Hull (), Sergei Fedorov (), Eric Lindros (), Dominik Hasek ( and ), Jaromir Jagr (), Joe Sakic (), Martin St. Louis (), Sidney Crosby ( and ), Alexander Ovechkin ( and ), Evgeni Malkin (), and Carey Price ().〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hart Memorial Trophy history )〕 Of those fourteen, only Lafleur, Gretzky, Lemieux, Jagr, St. Louis, Crosby, Ovechkin, and Malkin have also won the Art Ross Trophy for the same season and completed a Hart-Pearson-Art Ross sweep.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NHL releases list of trophy finalists )〕 Of that list, only Ovechkin has also won the Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy for top goal-scorer in the same year, completing what is to date the only Hart-Pearson-Art Ross-Richard sweep. Had the Richard Trophy existed during the years they completed their Hart-Pearson-Art Ross sweeps, however, Lafleur would have achieved the four-award sweep once (in 1977–78), Lemieux twice (1987–88 and 1995–96), and Gretzky five times (1981–82, 1982–83, 1983–84, 1984–85 and 1986–87). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ted Lindsay Award」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
