For the third straight year, Jonathan Toews has been named one of three finalists for the 2014-15 Mark Messier NHL Leadership Award, which is awarded "to the player who exemplifies great leadership qualities to his team, on and off the ice, during the regular season," the NHL announced Monday.
Anaheim Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf and Winnipeg Jets captain Andrew Ladd were also nominated for the award.
Toews led the team with 66 points (28 goals, 38 assists) in the regular season, and piloted Chicago to its seventh consecutive postseason appearance.
Off the ice, the Blackhawks captain is involved with a variety of team fundraisers and charity programs, including the Make-A-Wish foundation and the Four Feathers Golf Invitational.
