ational Hockey League.
During his illustrious 15-year tenure, Lidstrom has won three Stanley Cups, countless NHL awards and has been voted into the NHL All-Star game a whopping nine times. Lidstrom has won the Norris Trophy (awarded to the league’s top defenseman) 5 times, and was the first European born player to bring home the hardware. In addition, Lidstrom was the first European born player in the NHL to win the Conn Smythe Trophy (awarded to the playoff MVP), which he did in the 2001-2002 season. The list of Lidstrom’s accomplishments goes on and on and in all honesty, I could probably write a two-page essay simply listing all the awards he has won and all the records he holds to date however; that is not the purpose of this blog posting.
