HARRY HAP HOLMES MEMORIAL AWARD

HARRY “HAP” HOLMES MEMORIAL AWARD

Named after Harry “Hap” Holmes, a prominent figure in early professional hockey and a standout goaltender in his era, the Harry “Hap” Holmes Memorial Award is presented in recognition of outstanding goaltending.

From 1948 to 1971, the award was presented to the goaltender with the lowest goals-against average who appeared in at least 50 percent of his team’s regular-season games. Since 1972, it has honored the goaltenders (appearing in a minimum of one-third of his team’s games) on the team with the fewest goals against per game at the end of the season.

Holmes was posthumously elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1972.
