The Bob Clarke Trophy is awarded annually to the top scorer in the Western Hockey League.
It is named after National Hockey League Hall of Famer Bobby Clarke who was one of the WHL's early stars. Clarke won the league scoring title both years he played in the league.
When first introduced in 1966, it was named the "Brownridge" trophy after Bob Brownridge, who played in the WCHL with the Calgary Stampeders from 1945 to 1949. In 1987 the WHL (formerly WCHL) renamed its scoring-leader trophy the "Bob Clarke Trophy."
