The trophy is awarded annually to the NHL player who 鈥渂est exemplifies perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey.鈥� It is named after Minnesota North Stars forward Bill Masterton, who died following an on-ice injury in 1968.

The Oilers are one of eight teams that have never won the award. Ingram won it in 2023-24 with Arizona after overcoming mental health struggles and tying for the league lead with six shutouts.

鈥淚t鈥檚 been a whirlwind,鈥� the 29-year-old Saskatoon native said of this season鈥檚 journey. 鈥淚 never heard of someone not being invited to camp before. They put it in writing for me that they had asked that I not attend camp.

鈥淎t that point, it was just, whatever came next was what you were gonna deal with. And luckily it was here in Edmonton and (general manager) Stan (Bowman) gave me a chance, and I鈥檒l be forever grateful.鈥�

Ingram was drafted by the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2016, but never played for them and was traded to Nashville in June 2019. He recorded his first NHL win Oct 24, 2021, nine months after entering the league鈥檚 player assistance program to deal with obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression and alcoholism.

In October 2022, he was claimed off waivers by Arizona and spent two seasons there before the franchise moved to Utah.聽

Ingram was traded to Edmonton last September and called up from Bakersfield on Dec. 19 when Tristan Jarry, newly acquired from Pittsburgh, was injured.

鈥淭here鈥檚 a lot of things that happen in hockey that, as a human being, I understand,鈥� he said of the Utah situation. 鈥淚t鈥檚 when you get into how you treat people that bothers me. I鈥檓 an athlete, but I鈥檓 still a human being, and that鈥檚 what brothered me more than anything.鈥�

The son of parents who were both teachers and first responders, Ingram struggled in Bakersfield, but credited the coaching staff there for giving him the chance to resettle his life and career.

鈥淭hey never gave up on me. They kept letting me play,鈥� he said of Bakersfield head coach Colin Chaulk and goaltending coach Kelly Guard. 鈥淎 quote I always go back to is, 'sometimes rock bottom鈥檚 a great place to build a foundation.' That鈥檚 what it was. Nobody told me to quit, so I just kept playing, and here we are.

Ingram still deals with some mental health issues, but gets through those days with the help of his wife, Sarah, and simple walks.

鈥淪he sees it coming before I do most days,鈥� Ingram said. 鈥淪he takes care of me more than a wife probably should. I鈥檒l be forever grateful for everything she does for me.

鈥淚 go for walks some days just to get some sunlight, but I mean, there鈥檚 nothing that I can do that鈥檒l snap me out of it immediately. There鈥檚 no one fix for all of this.鈥�

Regaining his position as a starting NHL goaltender helped restore his belief in himself.

鈥淵ou have to believe in yourself,鈥� he said. 鈥淭here鈥檚 a lot of outside noise. You know, can you, can you not? If you believe you can, you鈥檙e gonna be just fine.鈥�

The Masterton winner, which is voted on by members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association, will be announced at the league鈥檚 annual awards celebration.
