LIFE TIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD - C3

NHL Lifetime Achievement Award

Description: First awarded in 2008, the NHL Lifetime Achievement Award is presented “to an individual whose long-term contributions to hockey have been representative of all that is outstanding about the National Hockey League and the game, both on and off the ice.”
Most Recent Winner: Montreal Canadiens legend Jean Beliveau was the most recent recipient of the NHL Lifetime Achievement Award, in 2009. Beliveau won the Stanley Cup 10 times as a player with the Canadiens, and seven more as an executive, meaning his name has been inscribed on the trophy an unprecedented 17 times. He won the Hart Memorial Trophy in 1955-56 and 1963-64, the Art Ross Trophy in 1955-56, and the inaugural Conn Smythe Trophy in 1964-65. Beliveau also appeared in 13 All-Star Games during a playing career that spanned from 1950-71. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1972 after the mandatory three-year waiting period was waived.
