The Hap Holmes Memorial Award is an ice hockey trophy awarded annually to the goaltenders of the American Hockey League (AHL) team with the lowest goals against average, and who have appeared in at least 25 regular season games.
Prior to 1972, only goaltenders with the lowest goals-against average who appeared in at least 50% of regular season games were eligible for recognition. The trophy is named after Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Hap Holmes.
