The NHL has announced the 31 nominees for the 2017-18 King Clancy Memorial Trophy, which is awarded “to the player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in his community.”
Each nominee was selected by his respective NHL club. The winner will be chosen by a committee of senior NHL executives led by Commissioner Gary Bettman and Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly. The winner will receive a $40,000 donation from the National Hockey League Foundation to benefit a charity or charities of the winner’s choice. The two runners-up will each receive a $5,000 donation.
