PHWA announces midseason award winners

TAMPA, Fla. — The Professional Hockey Writers Association announced today the winners of 10 Midseason Awards, as the hockey world descends on Tampa Bay to mark the halfway point of the 2017-18 National Hockey League season.

Historically, the PHWA voted on “Half Season” Awards through 1968, but the annual practice fell off the radar soon after the advent of the modern-day NHL All-Star Game in 1969.

The Midseason Awards were revived this season, this time giving hockey fans across North America a vote with the power of social media.

Our deepest condolences to USA Hockey and the Johannson family.
