	Vezina Trophy - LearnThis.Info Enclyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The Vezina Trophy is awarded annually to the person deemed the best ice hockey goalkeeper as voted on by the general managers of the teams in the National Hockey League.
		However, it was recognized that this system often meant the trophy went to the goalkeeper of the better team rather than the individual and hence the change was made to offer the William M. Jennings Trophy to the goalkeeper(s) playing for the team with the fewest goals against.
		The Vezina Trophy was named in honor of Georges Vezina, an exceptional goalkeeper with the Montreal Canadiens, who collapsed during a game in 1925 and was diagnosed as having tuberculosis.

		Today, the Jennings trophy, named after the long-time president of the New York Rangers, is awarded in tandem with the Vezina trophy after the requirements for the latter were changed.
		Vezina sat among his equipment for a few minutes, tears rolling down his cheeks, and then asked for the sweater he'd worn in the team's last Stanley Cup victory (1924); then he took the train home to die.
		The Vezina Trophy, donated to hockey in 1926 by the three owners of the team, Dandurand, Letourneau and Joseph Cattarinich (the goalie he replaced in the fall of 1910) is very beautiful, silver, round and columnar, with a disc at the top as hockey puck.
