⚫ | In [[1989-90 NHL season|1990]], [[Sergei Makarov]] of the [[Calgary Flames]] became the oldest player, at age 31, to win the Calder, even though he had played professionally in the [[Soviet Union]] as a member of [[HC CSKA Moscow]]. After that season, the rules for awarding the Calder were amended so that players could only be eligible if they were 26 years old or younger by [[September 15 ]] of their rookie season. |

Despite his massively successful first NHL season, [[Wayne Gretzky]] did not win the Calder in [[1980]]. As he had played the previous year in the [[World Hockey Association]], he was deemed ineligible for the award. |

As well, to be eligible for the award, a player cannot have played any more than 25 games previously in any single season, nor have played in more than six games in two seperate preceding seasons in any major professional league.<ref name="Calder Trophy">{{cite web|url=http://www.nhl.com/trophies/calder.html|title=Calder Memorial Trophy|accessdate=2007-08-21|publisher=nhl.com}}</ref> The latter fact was perhaps most prominent when in [[1979-80 NHL season|1979-80]], first-year phenom [[Wayne Gretzky]] was not eligible to win the Calder Trophy despite scoring 137 points (the previous rookie record at the time being 95), due to him playing a full season the previous year in the [[World Hockey Association]].<ref name="Wayne Gretzky bio">{{cite web|url=http://www.oilersheritage.com/history/big_players_waynegretzky.html|title=Wayne Gretzky-The Great One|accessdate=2007-08-21|publisher=oilersheritage.com}}</ref> |
