Kim Davis Trophy

The Kim Davis Trophy is an annual award given to the player selected as the most proficient in his first year of competition in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League during the regular season. The trophy is named after former MJHL commissioner Kim Davis.

History

The Rookie of the Year award was created in 1950. From 1967 to 1977, the award winner was presented the Gordon Petrie Memorial Trophy and from 1978 to 2022 was named the Vince Leah Trophy. Vince Leah was a sportswriter for The Winnipeg Tribune and the Winnipeg Free Press, founded the Excelsior Hockey Club in 1934, which produced forty future professional hockey players and won thirteen provincial championships.[1][2]

The current award was first awarded for the 2022–23 MJHL season.
