The King Clancy Memorial Trophy is presented “to the player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in his community.” Each team nominates one of their players: the Los Angeles Kings and the Nashville Predators have chosen Kevin Fiala and Roman Josi respectively.
The winner will be chosen by a selection committee consisting of NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and former winners of the King Clancy Memorial Trophy and the NHL Foundation Player Award. Last season, it was won by the captain of the Calgary Flames, Mikael Backlund.
The winner of the award will receive a $25,000 donation to benefit a charity or charities of his choice. New this year, the winner will also be eligible to elect that his club receive a grant from the NHL, up to $20,000, to help organize a special activation related to his humanitarian cause.
