Connor McDavid's MVP Season


The recipient of a master's degree in accounting from SUNY at Buffalo, Timothy "Tim" Maleck is a financial associate based in New York City. Outside of his professional responsibilities, Timothy Maleck enjoys a variety of athletic pursuits, including hockey. 

Arguably the world's best hockey player, Connor McDavid put himself into the conversation last season by winning the National Hockey League's (NHL) Hart Trophy, which is awarded annually to the league's most valuable player. The 20-year-old Edmonton Oilers center led the league in scoring with 100 points in 82 games and was the third-youngest player in league history to win the award. Additionally, he won the Ted Lindsay Award, which is given to the most outstanding player based on votes from his peers.

McDavid received 147 of a possible 167 first-place votes for the Hart Trophy and finished ahead Sidney Crosby and Sergei Bobrovsky, who had 14 and four first-place votes respectively. The third-year pro appears poised to potentially repeat as Hart Trophy winner in 2017-18; in the Oilers' first game of the season against the Calgary Flames, McDavid scored three goals for his second career hat trick.
