Canucks' Quinn Hughes rated as NHL's second-best rookie at mid-season
The Professional Hockey Writers’ Association has collected the votes and halfway through his rookie year, the consensus from 117 voters is that Quinn Hughes, the Vancouver Canucks’ super rookie, is the league’s second-best freshman.
“We’re proud of the work our members put in throughout the entire season, crunching numbers, following trends and speaking to sources to gather the best ballot possible,” PHWA president Frank Seravalli said in a media elease. “The Midseason Awards are the latest example of that, beginning an independent evaluation process in January that won’t conclude until early April when the real ballots are returned.
The mid-season voting also includes a pair of unofficial awards: the Rod Langway Award and the Comeback Player of the Year. The PHWA engaged in mid-season awards voting from its founding in 1962 through 1968. The practice was revived in 2018. The PHWA has more than 300 dues-paying members in all 32 NHL markets, including Seattle, and also around the globe.
