Professional Hockey Writers' Association

The Professional Hockey Writers' Association (PHWA) is a North American professional association for ice hockey journalists writing for newspapers, magazines and websites. The PHWA was founded in 1967 and has approximately 180 voting members [1].

PHWA members vote for many of the National Hockey League's major individual awards [2], including the Hart Memorial Trophy, Lady Byng Memorial Trophy, Calder Memorial Trophy, James Norris Memorial Trophy, Conn Smythe Trophy, Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy and Frank J. Selke Trophy.

The association is dedicated to "preserving the rights and improving the access for members of the North American-based media who cover the sport of hockey all over the world." [3]
