Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers is in the twilight of his career, but he is still recognized as one of the top goalies in the NHL and a sure fire Hall of Famer. The former Vezina Trophy winner may be adding another prestigious award to his resume, the King Clancy Memorial Trophy.
The King Clancy Trophy is awarded to “the player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and who has made a significant humanitarian contribution to his community.” Each NHL team nominates a player with the three finalists and the winner picked by NHL Commmissioner Gary Bettman and a panel of senior NHL executives.
