The Golden Hockey Stick is an award given to the top Czech ice hockey player in the world. It was originally awarded to the top player in the Czechoslovak Elite League, beginning in the 1968–69 season. After the Czech Republic and Slovakia became separate countries in 1993, it was awarded to the top Czech player. Jaromír Jágr has won this award more than any other player: nine times. Dominik Hašek has won it five times.
