The Ted Lindsay is voted on by members of the National Hockey League Players Association, awarded to the most outstanding regular season player in the league. Dallas Stars Captain Jamie Benn is a finalist for the award for the second year in a row.
In many industries, the most compelling award you can win often comes from a group of your peers -- the ones who understand the nuances of what you do and what it takes to be successful. Many of the awards in the NHL are voted on by the NHL Professional Writers Association, but several exist that are voted on by either the general managers or players within the league.
