The Hobey Baker Legends of College Hockey Award is an annual award presented by the Hobey Baker Memorial Award Committee to honor "one of the all-time great contributors to the game of college hockey."
In 1981, the Hobey Baker Memorial Award Committee began to award two annual awards. One – the Hobey Baker Award – is given to the individual selected as the outstanding NCAA men's ice hockey player of the current year. The other award – the "Legends of College Hockey Award" – was established simultaneously to honor a player or coach who has made outstanding historic contributions to the sport. The "Legends of College Hockey Award" has been presented to individuals who have made contributions as a player, coach or administrator.
