The Montreal Canadiens announced Mike Condon as their Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy nominee for the 2015-16 season.
This year's Canadiens nominee for the Bill Masterton Memorial trophy is unexpected starting goaltender Mike Condon. The award is handed to the player having best displayed perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to the game; every team nominates one player and a winner is selected from that group.
Condon usurped the backup role from Dustin Tokarski in training camp and was poised to begin his NHL career behind the reigning Vezina and Hart trophy winner Carey Price, and with the much respected Stéphane Waite as his goalie coach.
