Molson Cup

thumb|right|200px|Jarome Iginla is honoured during a Molson Cup ceremony in Calgary.
The Molson Cup is an award presented to a distinguished player on Canadian ice hockey teams. After each game, the "three game stars" are selected, usually by a member of the media. At the end of the season, the player with the most three-star honours is presented with the Molson Cup. Most teams also donate money to charity in the name of the winner of each monthly segment winner during the season.
The Molson Cup is not an official National Hockey League (NHL) award, but the Canadian NHL franchises have presented the award to its players. It is also bestowed by some minor professional and Canadian Hockey League clubs as well. The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's Rookie of the Year Award was previously known as the Molson Cup.
The Molson Cup is sponsored by Molson Breweries, meaning that hockey clubs with another brewery sponsor will often present a similar award, albeit with a different name. The Quebec Nordiques awarded an "O'Keefe Cup."
