On June 22, 2011, the NHL will hold its awards ceremony in Las Vegas for the 2010-11 season. Each year, the NHL issues an award to the top player in various individual categories. This year, the Art Ross Trophy given to the league's top point scorer will be awarded to Daniel Sedin who scored 104 points for the Vancouver Canucks (43G, 61A). Corey Perry, who scored 50 goals for the Anaheim Ducks will be awarded the Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy as the league's top goal scorer. Most notably, neither Alex Ovechkin or Sydney Crosby are expected to receive any awards as Ovechkin had an "off" year and was not considered for any of the prominent trophies and Crosby, as most know, missed a large part of the season with a head injury.
Here are the finalists in some of the top categories:
