NHL/Sheraton Road Performer Award
First Awarded & Last Awarded: 2003-04
First Winner & Last Winner: Joe Sakic
Given To: The player that scores the most points on the road.
Sheraton Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. decided to sponsor an award for the 2003-04 season. The logic behind this was that players stay in hotels when they play road games. So why not give an award, sponsored by a hotel, to the player that scores the most points on the road?
The only time the NHL/Sheraton Road Performer Award was given out was 2003-04. It was won by Joe Sakic of the Colorado Avalanche, who scored 22 goals and 27 assists for 49 points in 41 road games. The 2004-05 season was cancelled due to the lockout, and then the NHL/Sheraton Road Performer Award disappeared into obscurity. Really. I can’t even find a picture of it online.
