When Aaron Ekblad was a rookie with the Florida Panthers in 2014, he was an All-Star and won Calder Memorial Trophy honors for NHL's rookie of the year. Despite his excellence, the Panthers made the playoffs just once in Ekblad's first five years and took seven years to get out of the first round.

Now the defenseman is playing in his third consecutive Stanley Cup Finals and having his most productive offensive postseason with 12 points -- including a goal to go with his five hits in the 6-1 Game 3 rout over the Edmonton Oilers.

Which brings us to today's quiz. How many of the players to win the Calder Memorial Trophy since the 1980-81 season can you name in seven minutes?

Good luck!
