The Walter "Babe" Pratt Trophy is an annual award presented to the best defenceman on the Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League (NHL). One of six annual team awards presented to Canucks players, it is voted by the team fans and is presented at the last home game of the regular season.[1] The most recent recipient is Quinn Hughes, who has won the award in 6 consecutive seasons dating back to the 2019–20 season.

History

[edit | edit source]

The trophy was first awarded for the 1972–73 season as the Premier's Trophy. After the death of Hall of Fame defenceman and Canucks goodwill ambassador Babe Pratt, the trophy was renamed in honour of him for the 1989–90 season. Originally, the trophy's recipient was decided by local media, but is now decided by a fan vote.

The most prolific award winners in trophy's history have been:
