History

The plus/minus statistic was first established during the 196768 NHL season. This statistic reflects a player's ability to contribute offensively and defensively.[2] The award was first given in the 1983 season. From 198283 to 198788, it was known as the Emery Edge Award. During 198889, there was no formal name for the trophy. From 198990 to 199596, it was known as the Alka-Seltzer Plus Award. From 199697 to 199798, it was known as the Bud Ice Plus-Minus Award. Finally, from 199899 to the present, it has been known as the Bud Light Plus-Minus Award.

Since the award's inception, it has been won by players on the Edmonton Oilers and Detroit Red Wings 4 times each, and 3 times each by players on the Calgary Flames, Colorado Avalanche, Philadelphia Flyers, and St. Louis Blues. Since the league began tracking plus/minus as a statistic, the Boston Bruins have led the league 9 times, Edmonton Oilers 5 times, and 4 times each by players on the Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens, and Philadelphia Flyers. Three-time winner Wayne Gretzky has won the award the most times out of any player and two-time winners John LeClair and Chris Pronger are the only other repeat winners of the award. Gretzky also led the league in plus-minus once before the trophy was established. Bobby Orr has led the league the most times out of any players, with six.
