Kultainen kypärä

Kultainen kypärä
Kultainen kypärä Trophy

Kultainen kypärä () is an ice hockey award given by the Suomen jääkiekkoilijat ry (SJRY; ) to the best player in the Finnish Liiga and Auroraliiga. Winners are selected via votes cast by each league's players. Kultainen kypärä has been awarded in the Liiga since 1987, and in the Auroraliiga since 2022.

In addition, a long running tradition by Veikkaus is for the current best scorer of a Liiga team to carry a golden helmet, also called kultainen kypärä or kultakypärä. The player that plays the most games carrying the golden helmet that also is in the top 20 of the league's scoreboard by the end of the regular season is awarded with €10,000 by Veikkaus.
