The Buffalo chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers Association (PHWA) nominated Buffalo Sabres forward Jason Pominville for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy this season.
According to the NHL the Masterton Trophy is an “award given annually to the player who best exemplifies perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey.”
Every PHWA chapter in the NHL nominates a player for the award and then the winner is decided by a poll of the 31 chapters when the season concludes.
Pominville continues to be an impactful player for the Sabres at the age of 36-years-old.
