The trophy is awarded “to the National Hockey League player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey.”
Ryan Getzlaf, the Ducks’ retiring captain after 17 seasons with the franchise and its all-time leader in assists, points and games played, is the Anaheim chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers Association’s nominee for the 2022 Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy.
The PHWA awards the trophy “to the National Hockey League player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey.” It is named for Masterton, who died as a result of injuries in a game Jan. 15, 1968, while playing for the Minnesota North Stars.
The 36-year-old Ducks star washed away the bitter taste of a joyless 2020-21 season played mostly without fans. He did that with a great start to 2021-22 that included becoming their all-time leading scorer and surpassing the 1,000-point milestone. A foot injury hobbled him in the second half, but it didn’t diminish his influence on young linemate Troy Terry and his breakout 36-goal season.
Getzlaf ended his career with an assist on Adam Henrique’s third-period goal, a behind-the-back pass that lifted a standing-room-only crowd of 17,446 out of its seats at Honda Center during a 6-3 loss Sunday to the St. Louis Blues. Getzlaf had 737 assists, and 1,019 points in 1,157 games.
