# Maurice Richard Trophy

De Maurice 'Rocket' Richard Trophy, of Maurice Richard Trophy, wordt ieder jaar uitgereikt aan de ijshockeyspeler met de meeste doelpunten in de National Hockey League (NHL). De prijs is vernoemd naar Maurice Richard (1921-2000), een Canadese ijshockeyer die in 1949/50 als eerste vijftig doelpunten in een seizoen maakte. Zelf was hij vijf keer topscorer van de NHL. De prijs werd na afloop van het seizoen 1998/99 voor het eerst uitgereikt. De Montreal Canadiens doneerden de trofee toen aan de NHL.
Het recordaantal doelpunten in één seizoen staat op naam van Wayne Gretzky, die 92 doelpunten maakte voor de Edmonton Oilers in het seizoen 1981/82. Teemu Selanne bezit het rookierecord dankzij de 76 goals die hij in 1992/93 op 22-jarige leeftijd maakte voor de Winnipeg Jets . Hij was in 1999 ook eerste winnaar van de Maurice Richard Trophy. Bobby Hull won de trofee zeven keer (1960, 1962, 1964 en 1966-1969) en is daarmee recordhouder. Opmerkelijk is dat zijn zoon, Brett Hull, ook topscorer van de NHL is geweest. Hij werd het 3 jaar op rij (1990-1992).
