History
The Art Ross Trophy was presented to the National Hockey League in 1947 by Arthur Howie "Art" Ross, former general manager and head coach of the Boston Bruins and Hockey Hall of Fame inductee as a player. Elmer Lach was the winner of the first Art Ross Trophy awarded at the conclusion of the 1947-48 NHL season.
Wayne Gretzky won the Art Ross Trophy 10 times during 20-year NHL career. Gordie Howe and Mario Lemieux won it six times. The non-Canadian player with most awards is Czech Jaromir Jagr. Gretzky is the only player to win the trophy for more than one team and Joe Thornton is the only player to win it playing for two different teams in one season.
Players from the Pittsburgh Penguins have won the trophy 12 times; players from the Montreal Canadiens have won it nine times and the Chicago Blackhawks have seen players win the award eight times.[1]
For two decades, from 1980 to 2001, only three players won the Art Ross Trophy—Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, and Jaromir Jagr. The streak ended when Jarome Iginla won the trophy in 2002.
In 2007, 19-year-old Sidney Crosby became the youngest player to win the Art Ross Trophy and the youngest scoring champion in major North American professional sports.[2]
The NHL rules stipulate three tiebreakers in case two or more players are tied in points:
#Player with most goals
#Player with fewer games played
#Player scoring first goal of the season

Mario Lemieux, six-time winner.

1. Although Joe Thornton, winner in 2005-06, started the season playing for the Boston Bruins, he finished with the San Jose Sharks and the award counts for the Sharks. Therefore, Boston Bruins players have won the trophy seven times.

4. Although the NHL official site, listed in the references section, list Odie Cleghorn as the scoring leader in 1918-19, it is a mistake, as can be checked in the site when comparing the stats of both players. Cleghorn only scored 28 points while Lalonde scored 32. LegendsofHockey.net, site of the Hockey Hall of Fame also list Lalonde as the scoring leader in 1918-19.
