The '''Jack Adams Award''' is awarded annually to the [[National Hockey League]] (NHL) coach "adjudged to have contributed the most to his team's success." The league's [[Coach of the Year]] award has been presented 51 times to 43 coaches. The winner is selected by a poll of the National Hockey League Broadcasters Association at the end of the regular season. Five coaches have won the award twice, while [[Pat Burns]] has won three times, the most of any coach. The award is named in honor of [[Jack Adams]], [[Hockey Hall of Fame|Hall of Fame]] player for the [[Toronto Maple Leafs|Toronto Arenas/St. Patricks]], [[Vancouver Millionaires]] and original [[Ottawa Senators (original)|Ottawa Senators]], and long-time Coach and General Manager of the [[Detroit Red Wings]]. It was first awarded at the conclusion of the {{nhly|1973}} regular season.

[[Jacques Demers]] is the only coach to win the award in consecutive seasons. Five coaches have won the award with two teams: [[Jacques Lemaire]], [[Pat Quinn (ice hockey)|Pat Quinn]], [[Scotty Bowman]], [[Barry Trotz]], and [[John Tortorella]] have won the award twice. [[Pat Burns]] is the only coach to win the Adams Award three times, as well as the only coach to win it with three different teams. The franchises with the most Jack Adams Award winners are the Washington Capitals, [[Philadelphia Flyers]], [[Detroit Red Wings]], [[Boston Bruins]] and [[Arizona Coyotes|Phoenix Coyotes]] with four winners each, although the Coyotes had two winners in [[Winnipeg Jets (1972–1996)|Winnipeg]] before they moved to [[Arizona]]. [[Bill Barber]], [[Bruce Boudreau]] and [[Ken Hitchcock]] are the only coaches to win the award after replacing the head coach who started the season. Barber took over for [[Craig Ramsay]] during the Flyers' [[2000–01 NHL season|2000–01 season]], Boudreau replaced [[Glen Hanlon]] a month into the Capitals' [[2007–08 NHL season|2007–08 season]] while Hitchcock replaced [[Davis Payne]] a month into the Blues' [[2011–12 NHL season|2011–12 season]]. The closest vote occurred in {{nhly|2005|end}}, when the winner [[Lindy Ruff]] edged out [[Peter Laviolette]] by a single point.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/nhl/news/story?id=2497134|title=Thornton, Lidstrom, Ovechkin win at NHL awards|access-date=February 8, 2015|date=June 23, 2006|publisher=[[ESPN]]|archive-date=September 5, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150905211615/http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=2497134|url-status=live}}</ref>
