Roger Crozier
Saving Grace Award
This trophy is awarded to the goaltender that played a minimum of 25 games and has the
highest save percentage in the league. The winner is also awarded $25,000 to donate to
a youth hockey or other educational program of their choice.

History of the save percentage stat: The stat had been unofficially kept by some teams in
the league, but would become an official NHL stat for the 1982-83 season. Simply, it's
number of saves a goalie makes divided by the number of shots he faced.

History of the trophy: The Crozier Saving Grace Award was presented to the NHL by
the MBNA Corporation, its primary sponsor, in memory of the late Roger Crozier, who
played goalie for the Detroit Red Wings and the Buffalo Sabres, and was also an
employee of MBNA America Bank following his retirement from hockey, for the
1999-2000 season.
