The Hockey East Rookie of the Year is an annual award given out at the conclusion of the Hockey East regular season to the best player in the conference as voted by the coaches of each Hockey East team.
The Rookie of the Year was first awarded in 1985 and every year thereafter. The award has been shared four times, in 1985âÂÂ86, 1988âÂÂ89, 1991âÂÂ92, and most recently in 2020âÂÂ21. Four players have been both the Player and Rookie-of-the-Year in the same season (Brian Leetch, Paul Kariya, Jack Eichel, and Macklin Celebrini).
