EL SEGUNDO, CA — It seems that every hockey team, regardless of level, has at least one player who is their unsung hero, one who gives everything he or she has for the team, on the ice and off.
Most of the time, unsung heroes aren’t the highly-skilled, flashy types. They perform their duties quietly, under the radar and out of the spotlight, drawing virtually no attention to themselves. But even though they generally don’t get the attention that the top players get, they play very important roles for their teams.
In recent years, forward Trevor Lewis has been the Los Angeles Kings’ perennial unsung hero, winning that team award for seven years in a row (he shared the award twice) before left wing Kyle Clifford won the 2018-19 award.
