The '''Lester Patrick Trophy''' has been presented by the [[National Hockey League]] and [[USA Hockey]] since 1966 to honor a recipient's contribution to [[ice hockey]] in the [[United States]]. It is considered a non-NHL trophy because it may be awarded to players, coaches, officials, and other personnel outside the NHL.  The trophy is named after [[Lester Patrick]] (1883–1960), player and longtime coach of the [[New York Rangers]], who was a developer of ice hockey.
