The Rookie of the Year was first awarded in 1985 and every year thereafter.
The award has been shared four times, in 1985–86, 1988–89, 1991–92, and most recently in 2020–21. Three players have been both the Player and Rookie-of-the-Year in the same season (Brian Leetch, Paul Kariya, and Jack Eichel). (as of 2022)
