The Michel Bergeron Trophy is awarded annually to the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL)'s "Offensive Rookie of the Year". From 1969 to 1980, the trophy was awarded to the QMHL's "Overall Rookie of the Year." The Bergeron trophy's counterpart since 1980, the Raymond Lagacé Trophy, is awarded to the "Defensive Rookie of the Year." The QMJHL created the RDS Cup in 1991, as a reunified Rookie of the Year award.
