Over the past few weeks as we’ve discussed the first century of Chicago Blackhawks hockey, we’ve looked at:
Now, let’s turn our attention to the Norris Trophy. The Norris Trophy was first presented in 1954 “to the defense player who demonstrates throughout the season the greatest all-round ability in the position.” While I might argue the “defense” part of the position may have been somewhat taken for granted over the past couple decades (cough, Erik Karlsson, cough), this award is still the most prestigious a defenseman can win for his regular season performance.
