In 2007, Sidney Crosby became the youngest player to win the Art Ross Trophy at age 19, and also became the youngest scoring champion in any major North American professional sport. Orr is the only defenseman to win the scoring title, doing so in 19 with Boston, and in 1970 he became the first player to capture four individual awards in a single season as he won the Hart, Norris, and Conn Smythe Trophies that year as well. Louis all won each of those awards at least once and won a combination of two of them in the same season, but never all three together). Stan Mikita is the only player in NHL history to win the Art Ross, Hart, and Lady Byng Trophies all in the same season, which he did twice ( 1966––68, with Chicago Gretzky, Bobby Hull, and Martin St. Gretzky is the only player to win the trophy for more than one team, while Thornton is the only player to win it while playing for two different teams in one season. Patrick Kane is the only American born player to win the trophy, doing so in 2016. Jagr, from the Czech Republic, has won the award the most times by a non-Canadian. Gordie Howe and Lemieux have each won it six times, while Esposito and Jagr each have five. Gretzky has won the trophy a record ten times, including seven consecutive, during his 20-year NHL career. The streak ended when Jarome Iginla won the trophy in 2002. For two decades, from 1981 to 2001, only three players won the Art Ross Trophy: Gretzky, Lemieux, and Jagr. Therefore, Boston Bruins have seven players winning the trophy, fifth overall.įrom 1951 to 2001, Jean Beliveau, Marcel Dionne, and Bryan Trottier were the only single-time winners of the scoring title, while Gordie Howe, Bernie Geoffrion, Dickie Moore, Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita, Phil Esposito, Bobby Orr, Guy Lafleur, Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, and Jaromir Jagr all won it on multiple occasions. Although Joe Thornton, winner from the 2005–06 season, started the season playing for the Boston Bruins, he finished with the San Jose Sharks and the award counts for the Sharks. Players from the Pittsburgh Penguins and Edmonton Oilers have won the trophy 15 times each while the Montreal Canadiens and Chicago Blackhawks are tied for third, as players from each of those teams have won the trophy a total of nine times. Elmer Lach of the Montreal Canadiens was the winner of the first Art Ross Trophy, which was awarded at the conclusion of the 1947–48 season. The Art Ross Trophy was presented to the National Hockey League (NHL) in 1947 by Arthur Howey "Art" Ross, former General Manager and head coach of the Boston Bruins and Hockey Hall of Fame inductee as a player.
