It's a organization of writers who cover the NHL. Dues are something like $25 per year. The main thing about the organization is that it's a unified voice for writers for things like ensuring teams give access to players and that arenas have proper writing conditions.<BR/>As for the awards, there are a limited number of voting slots. In some cities like Toronto and Montreal that have oodles of members, everyone doesn't get a vote.<BR/>Voters are given no list, no finalists ... just the award description and how many players to vote on for each award. The votes have to be submitted by 7 p.m. of the first night of playoff games.Chuck Pleinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05687215987088549996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767965973861050539.post-21943130351249698412008-04-26T15:20:00.000-04:002008-04-26T15:20:00.000-04:00I'm curious as to how the voting works.Do you get ...I'm curious as to how the voting works.<BR/><BR/>Do you get to vote for whatever players you want, or are you given a list of a dozen or so for each award to choose from? And do you vote by ranking all of them, or just the top three or more, or what?<BR/><BR/>And all Red Wings fans appreciate your work here (whether or not we comment much). :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767965973861050539.post-1029527568733494612008-04-25T16:01:00.000-04:002008-04-25T16:01:00.000-04:00Hey Bruce.
