Mario Lemieux Trophy
The Mario Lemieux Trophy (French: Trophée Mario-Lemieux) is awarded annually by the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) to the player who has scored the most goals during the regular season. The trophy was first created for the 2023–24 season, and is named after Mario Lemieux, who played three seasons in the QMJHL from 1981 to 1984 with the Laval Voisins. During the 1983–84 season, Lemieux scored 133 goals in 70 games, setting a league record that still stands. The QMJHL is presently the only component league in the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) that has an award for goal-scoring, as neither the Ontario Hockey League nor the Western Hockey League does so, nor is there an equivalent CHL Award.[1]
