Art Ross Trophy

The Art Ross Trophy is awarded annually to the player who leads the National Hockey League (NHL) in scoring points during the regular season. If there is a tie at the end of the season, the trophy is awarded to the player with the most goals. The trophy was donated in 1948 by Arthur Howey Ross, general manager of the Boston Bruins. Several players have won the award multiple times, including Wayne Gretzky (10 times), Gordie Howe and Mario Lemieux (6 times), Phil Esposito, Jaromir Jagr and Connor McDavid (5), Stan Mikita (4), and Bobby Hull and Guy Lafleur (3).
