The Fred J. Hume Award is an annual award presented to the player deemed to be the most "unsung hero" for the Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League (NHL). It is voted by the fans and presented at the Canucks' last home game of the regular season.
The most recent recipient is Drew O'Connor, who won it for the first time in the 2025–26 season.
History The Fred J. Hume Award was first presented after the Canucks' inaugural NHL season in 1970–71 and was named after former Mayor of Vancouver Fred J. Hume, who was also owner of the Vancouver Canucks, while they were in the Western Hockey League (WHL), and an active campaigner to bring the NHL to Vancouver. Prior to being decided by a fan vote, the award was decided on by the Vancouver Canucks Booster Club before the organization dissolved in the 2000s.
The most times a Canucks player has won the award is three times, which was accomplished by Jannik Hansen (2011, 2013, and 2016).
