Legacy

He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1947 as a builder. Two trophies in professional hockey are named for him—the NHL Calder Memorial Trophy for NHL rookies and the Calder Cup for the American Hockey League (AHL) championship. He originated the rookie of the year award, and the NHL decided to continue awarding it after Calder died, renaming it from the Calder Trophy to the Calder Memorial Trophy.
