"The Jack Adams Award is an annual award presented by the NHL Broadcasters’ Association to “the NHL coach adjudged to have contributed the most to his team’s success.” The winner is determined by a poll among the association’s members at the end of the regular season. The award was first presented in 1974 to commemorate the late Jack Adams, longtime coach and general manager of the Detroit Red Wings. His lifetime dedication to hockey has served as an inspiration to all who aspire to further the game. – nhl.com"
