The FRANK J. SELKE TROPHY is an annual award to the forward who best excels in
the defensive aspects of the game. The winner is selected in a poll of the Professional
Hockey Writers' Association at the end of the regular season. The Selke Trophy was
presented to the National Hockey League in 1977 by the Board of Governors of the NHL
in honor of Frank J. Selke, one of the great architects of NHL championship teams.
