Mark Messier
Leadership Award
As defined by the NHL, this trophy is awarded to "an individual as a superior leader
within their sport, and as a contributing member of society." The winner is selected by
former Oilers' and Rangers' captain Mark Messier. (Beat me up if you want for saying
his name on a Devils site, but I don't give a shit. I'm stating facts here.)

History of the trophy: Besides the winner being chosen by Messier, it's of course named
after him, with a bullet point being that he is the only player in NHL history to have
captained 2 teams to a Stanley Cup championship. The award was first presented for the
2006-07 season. It is also sponsored by Cold-fX.

During the 06-07 season, monthly winners were also chosen, but since 07-08, only one
winner for the entire saeson has been chosen.
