I was honored to be selected to vote on the various NHL Awards this year as a first-year member of the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association.
Below is my full ballot. Votes were cast at the end of the 2014-15 regular season and I turned my ballot in on April 14. Awards not listed below are not voted on by the PHWA — for example, the Vezina Trophy, which is voted on by the league’s general managers. Feel free to ask me questions about my choices in the comments below.
