Maurice Richard Trophy

At the end of the 1998–99 National Hockey League season Teemu Selanne, of the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, Calif., received the Maurice Richard Trophy. He was the first winner of this award, presented to the highest scorer of the NHL season, which was established in honour of former Montreal Canadiens star Maurice “the Rocket” Richard (who would have won it five times himself had it existed during his playing career.)
