The Conn Smythe Trophy is awarded annually to the player judged most valuable to his team in the NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE playoffs. The player is selected by hockey writers. The trophy was first presented in 1964 in honour of Conn SMYTHE, former coach, manager and owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs. However, the only Maple Leaf to win the award was Dave Keon (1967). Recent winners include Joe Sakic (1996), Mike Vernon (1997), Steve Yzerman (1998) and Joe Nieuwendyk (1999). Two-time winners are Bobby ORR (1970 and 1972), Bernie Parent (1974 and 1975), Wayne GRETZKY (1985 and 1988), Mario LEMIEUX (1991 and 1992) and Patrick Roy (1986 and 1993).
