William Flynn Tournament Most Valuable Player Award Winners

The William Flynn Tournament Most Valuable Player is an annual award given out at the conclusion of the Hockey East tournament to the best player in the championship as voted by a panel of writers and broadcasters. The award is named in honor of former Boston College athletic director William Flynn.
The Tournament MVP was first awarded in 1985 and every year thereafter.
Connor Hellebuyck is the only player to have won the award more than once, winning in consecutive years 2013 and 2014. Four recipients have received the honor while not playing for the conference champion, all of them being the runner-up goaltender. (as of 2021)
The 2020 tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, as a result a Tournament MVP was not awarded that year.
