The Vancouver Canucks celebrated their 50th season in the NHL in 2020. Players,
coaches and general managers have won 15 NHL awards while representing the
team. It';s always an appropriate time to look at the last Canuck to win each
NHL award. Hart Memorial Trophy: Henrik Sedin (2009-10)
In 2009-10, Henrik Sedin became the first and only player in Canucks history to
win the Hart Memorial Trophy. The player considered the most valuable to his
team is awarded the Hart Trophy. He beat out Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby,
who were named finalists along with Sedin. The Swede led the league in points
with 112 and led the league in assists with 83, which was 14 more than
second.GLENDALE, AZ - MARCH 11: Henrik Sedin #33 of the Vancouver Canucks

He set three Canucks'; records that season. He became the franchise all-time
leader in assists, set the single-season points record and set the
single-season record in assists. Henrik carried the load offensively for the
Canucks that season as his twin brother, Daniel missed 19 games due to a foot
injury. The 2009-10 season was a launching point for the Sedins as Daniel
followed Henrik by surpassing the 100-point mark the following season.Calder
Memorial Trophy: Elias Pettersson (2018-19)
Elias Pettersson became the second player in Canucks history to win the Calder
Memorial Trophy when he took home the award last season. Pavel Bure was the
last Canuck to win the award in 1991-92. The award is given to the player who
is "the most proficient in his first year of competition." Pettersson beat out
fellow rookies Jordan Binnington and Rasmus Dahlin to win the award.Vancouver

Pettersson broke the Canucks'; rookie scoring record with a team-leading 66
points in 71 games.�Ivan Hlinka and Bure previously held the rookie scoring
record with 60 points. His 66 points gave him a 19-point lead over all other
rookies last season. He led all rookies and his teammates in scoring with 28
goals. He played in the NHL All-Star Game, becoming the youngest Canuck to do
so and joined Brock Boeser and Dale Tallon as the third rookie to do so for the
club.Art Ross Trophy and Ted Lindsay: Daniel Sedin (2010-11)
The Sedin twins went back to back winning the Art Ross trophy in 2009-10 and
2010-11. The trophy is awarded to the player who leads the league in total
points scored. Daniel Sedin led the league with 104 points and was the only
player to pass the 100-point mark that season. He beat out Martin St. Louis (99
points), Corey Perry (98 points) and his brother Henrik (94 points), to lead
the league in points.Daniel Sedin (Photo by Andy Devlin/NHLI via Getty Images)
Daniel won the Ted Lindsay in 2010-11 as the most outstanding player in the NHL
voted on by members of the NHL Players'; Association (NHLPA). He became the
second Canuck in franchise history to win the award. Markus Naslund won the
award in 2002-03, he also scored 104 points that season but finished second in
the scoring race.Frank J. Selke Trophy: Ryan Kesler (2010-11)
Ryan Kesler became the first Canuck to win the Frank J. Selke Trophy in 2010-11
after being nominated the previous two seasons. The Selke Trophy is awarded to
the NHL's top defensive forward. He beat out Jonathan Toews and Pavel Datsyuk
- the latter had won the award three seasons in a row. Kesler scored a
career-high 41 goals tying Daniel Sedin for the team lead that season. He hit
the 70-point mark for the second time in his career with 73 points in 82 games.

Kesler';s defence was key in the team's first-round matchup against the Chicago
Blackhawks. Head coach Alain Vigneault matched Kesler's line with the Toews
line. Toews did not register an even-strength point and only scored one goal
throughout the seven-game series.Related: Last Red Wings to Win Each NHL Award
"I don';t think you ever set a goal to win the award, but I do pride myself on
the defensive side of the game," said Kesler. "It';s nice to get acknowledged.
I guess all those years my dad was yelling 'backcheck'; at me finally paid
off."William M. Jennings Trophy: Roberto Luongo & Cory Schneider (2010-11)
Roberto Luongo and Cory Schneider shared the William M. Jennings Trophy in
2010-11. The award is given to the goaltender(s) who have allowed the fewest
goals while playing 25 games at least.
The pair were the first to win the trophy in franchise history. Luongo allowed
126 goals in 60 appearances, while Schneider allowed 51 goals in 25 games as
the team's backup. Luongo set a career-best 2.11 goals against average and his
best save percentage of .928 during his time with the Canucks.Jack Adams Award:
Alain Vigneault (2006-07)
Vigneault won the Jack Adams Award in his first season as head coach of the
Canucks. The award is given to the coach who has contributed the most to his
team's success. After barely missing the playoffs, the team replaced Marc
Crawford with Vigneault as head coach. In his first season, he improved the
team';s record by seven wins and the team made the playoffs. The Canucks lost
in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs to the Anaheim Ducks.Alain

For the fifth time in his coaching career, Vigneault is nominated for the Jack
Adams Award in 2020 but he has only won the award once. He is the second coach
to win the award in franchise history after Pat Quinn won in 1991-92. His fifth
nomination for the award is the most for any coach in NHL history. Jim Gregory
General Manager of the Year Award: Mike Gillis (2010-11)
The GM of the Year award is a recent addition to the NHL awards. Mike Gillis is
the second recipient of the award, winning it after the 2010-11 season. He
built a Canucks team that posted a franchise-best record of 54-19-9 and won the
team the Presidents'; Trophy. The 2010-11 Canucks team lost in Game 7 of the
Stanley Cup Final, the third appearance in franchise history. Mike Gillis

Gillis acquired multiple pieces that improved the team during the offseason and
at the trade deadline. He signed Manny Malhotra, Dan Hamhuis and Raffi Torres
through free agency, then traded for Maxim Lapierre and Chris Higgins at the
trade deadline. All five players improved the team immensely and played key
roles throughout the season and the playoffs.King Clancy Memorial Trophy:
Henrik and Daniel Sedin (2017-18)
Henrik and Daniel won the King Clancy Memorial Trophy in their last season. The
award is given to players who, "best exemplifies leadership qualities on and
off the ice and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in his
community." The NHL sent off the twins the best way they could, by honouring
the two for what they have done best throughout their careers - giving back to
their community. It was the third time a player for the Canucks won the award
and the second time for Henirk (2016).Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin, Vancouver

The Sedins have given back to their community since they joined the team in
2000-01. They have helped the Canucks for Kids Fund raise $42 million,
advocated for the literacy promotion programs of the Canucks Family Education
Centre, and supported the SPCA. In 2010, they donated $1.5 million to the BC
Children's Hospital Foundation. Throughout their careers, they frequently
visited patients and families at BC's children';s hospital.
"I think the NHL and all the teams do such a great job, things that are
forgotten during the season," Daniel Sedin said. "For us, coming into
Vancouver, from Day One, the big thing has been to be involved in the
community. Go out to schools and hospitals and get involved. That';s something
we take a lot of pride in in Vancouver."More Awards to Come
The Canucks dominated the NHL Awards in 2010-11, winning five awards in total.
The Sedin twins are the last players to win four different awards. This year
the Canucks may see Hughes win the Calder Trophy. If Markstrom did not get
injured, he had a chance at being nominated for the Hart Trophy and the
Vezina.Related: The Legendary Career of Roberto Luongo
It is the third season in a row that the team has a rookie that has been
nominated, with Pettersson winning last year and Boeser as a runner-up in
2017-18. The young core has an opportunity to be the first to win a few awards
for the Canucks, which includes the Vezina Trophy, the James Norris Memorial
Trophy and the Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy.
