NHL All-Rookie Team

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The NHL All-Rookie Team is chosen by the Professional Hockey Writers' Association from the best rookies in the National Hockey League at each position for the season just concluded based on their performance in that year. The team was first named after the 1982-83 NHL season and since then many future stars have been selected.

The team consists of one goalie, two defensemen and three forwards. In order to be considered a rookie in the NHL, the rookie must be eligible to win the Calder Trophy. The current eligibility criteria is that the player must not have played more than 25 games in any single preceding season nor in six or more games in each of any two preceding seasons in the NHL, as well as being under the age of 26 on September 15 of the season in which he is eligible.

[edit] Trivia

  • Pavel Bure is the only Calder Trophy winner not to be on the All-Rookie Team. He was not included in 1992 because at the time the forwards were picked as the best three in each individual forward position. Bure played both left wing and right wing, so he was not selected for either position and was left off the team. Beginning with the 1992-93 NHL season, voters selected three forwards for the All-Rookie Team, rather than choosing a left wing, centre and right wing.
  • Jamie Storr was goalie of both the 1998 and 1999 versions of the All-Rookie Season. He was still under the maximum amount of games a rookie could then play while retaining rookie status, even though the 1998-99 season was his 5th in the NHL. He had only played five games in each of his first three seasons, and played only 17 games in the 1997-98 season, thus retaining his rookie status for the next season.
  • The only occurrences of one team producing the All-Rookie Team goalie in back-to-back seasons (besides the Los Angeles Kings with Storr), were the Montreal Canadiens in 1985 and 1986, and the Chicago Blackhawks in 1991 and 1992. The two goalies from Montreal were Steve Penney and Patrick Roy while Chicago's two goalies were Ed Belfour and Dominik Hasek.
  • Before four rookies (Alexander Ovechkin, Sidney Crosby, Marek Svatos and Petr Prucha) did it in 2005-06, Eric Daze was the last NHL rookie to score 30 goals in a season, which he achieved in 1995-96. Ilya Kovalchuk came close in 2001-02, but he fell short by one goal, an eight season drought for NHL rookies.
  • The New Jersey Devils hold the record for most rookies on the All-Rookie Team, with nine players selected to the team in the history of the team. In addition, the Devils sent at least one representative to the team 5 years in a 6 year span (1990-91 through 1993-94, and 1995-96), and a later three year stretch (1998-99 through 2000-01). As well, three players selected during that first span would later go on to play for New Jersey (Malakhov, Arnott & Friesen).
  • The NHL All-Rookie Team has included many future superstars, but it has also produced rookies who only lasted one or two more seasons in the league. Such players include Steve Penney, Darren Pang, Dan Blackburn, Iain Duncan, Ken Hodge Jr., Kjell Dahlin and Thomas Eriksson.
