The David Desharnais Trophy is awarded annually to the most sportsmanlike player in the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League since the 1970–71 season. It was originally given as a team trophy awarded to the league's West Division champions for the 1969–70 season, and known as the Frank J. Selke Memorial Trophy in recognition of National Hockey League general manager and Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Frank J. Selke. The award was renamed for David Desharnais prior to the 2024–25 season.
