The Guy Carbonneau Trophy (Trophée Guy Carbonneau) is awarded annually to the player in the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) judged to be the best defensive forward. The winner is determined by the number of face-offs won, plus-minus differential, the player's role within the team, and the number of scoring opportunities. The award is named after Guy Carbonneau, who won three Selke Trophies (1988, 1989, 1992) for best defensive forward in his distinguished National Hockey League (NHL) career. He played for the Chicoutimi Saguenéens as a junior.
