Matt Leyden Trophy

The Matt Leyden Trophy is awarded annually to the Ontario Hockey League Coach of the Year.[1] The award is chosen by fellow OHL general managers. Teams were not permitted to vote for a coach from their own hockey club. Coaches receive five points for a first place vote, three points for a second place vote and one point for a third place vote. Winners of the award are also nominated for the Brian Kilrea Coach of the Year Award for the Canadian Hockey League.
