Card Notes

Which American born players on the Calder Trophy?

Details

This card contains an error or, at least, an omission. At the time, there were three U.S. born players to win the Calder Trophy as the NHL’s rookie of the year. However, on the back of this card, it lists just two of those winners.

Cully Dahlstrom and Frank Brimsek are listed as the answers to the trivia question. Carl “Cully” Dahlstrom, born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, won the award in 1937-38 as a member of the Chicago Blackhawks. Frank Brimsek won the award the following year, 1938-39, as a member of the Boston Bruins. Brimsek was also a Minnesota boy, born in Eveleth.

However, the trivia question ignores the first ever winner of the Calder Memorial Trophy. Carl Voss won the award in 1932-33. Voss split the season between the New York Rangers and Detroit Red Wings.

The ironic thing about the NHL career of Carl Voss, born in Chelsea, Massachusetts, a city that connects to Boston, is that he played for eight different teams: the Toronto Maple Leafs, New York Rangers, Detroit Red Wings, Ottawa Senators, St. Louis Eagles, New York Americans, Montreal Maroons and Chicago Blackhawks. But, never the Boston Bruins.

Since Brimsek, there have been eight U.S. players to win the Calder (as of 2021-22). The next winner was 45 years after Frank and was another goalie. Tom Barrasso, born in Boston, won the award in 1983-84 as a member of the Buffalo Sabres.
