Carey Price is Canada's male athlete of the year.
The Montreal Canadiens goaltender won the Lionel Conacher Award in a landslide.
The 28-year-old took 53 per cent of the vote in a Canadian Press poll of sports editors and broadcasters across the country.
Sprinter Andre de Grasse was second with 28 per cent.
Price had a dominant season in goal. He led the National Hockey League in goals-against average and save percentage while leading Montreal to second place overall.
He won the Hart Trophy as the league's most valuable player and the Vezina Trophy as top goaltender as well as two other NHL awards.
Price is the first hockey player to be named male athlete of the year since Sidney Crosby in 2010 and the first goalie to ever take home the honour.
