King Clancy Memorial Trophy

Leadership and Humanitarian Contribution / 37 seasons awarded

Description: First awarded in 1987-88, the King Clancy Memorial Trophy is presented annually “to the player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in his community.” Voting: Each NHL team submits a nominee for the King Clancy Memorial Trophy. The winner is selected by a committee consisting of Commissioner Gary Bettman and former winners of the King Clancy Memorial Trophy as well as the NHL Foundation Player Award. In determining the winner, the selection committee considers the criteria of a nominee’s inspiration, involvement and impact to positively benefit his community. History: The King Clancy Memorial Trophy was presented in 1988 by the NHL’s Board of Governors in honor of Frank “King” Clancy, a beloved figure in the League for decades as a player, referee, coach, manager and goodwill ambassador. A three-time Stanley Cup champion and 1958 inductee to the Hockey Hall of Fame, Clancy was voted as one of the 100 Greatest NHL Players during the League’s Centennial Celebration in 2017. Charitable Donations: The King Clancy Memorial Trophy winner receives a $25,000 donation to benefit a charity or charities of his choice. The winner also is eligible to elect that his team receive a grant from the NHL, up to $20,000, to help organize a special activation related to his humanitarian cause. 2024-25 Winner: Florida Panthers center Aleksander Barkov won the 2024-25 King Clancy Memorial Trophy. The Panthers’ captain has been a longtime supporter of Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Hollywood, Fla., a leading pediatric hospital that helps children with cancer, blood disorders, heart transplants, emergency care and rehabilitation. Since 2019, he has been donating $1,600 for every goal scored and $800 for every assist during the regular season and playoffs as part of his #BarkovScores4JoeD initiative. To date, he has given more than $420,000 to the hospital. His contributions have helped fund the hospital’s state-of-the-art playroom, as well as an expansion of its facility, allowing them to treat more complex and critical conditions. Barkov’s support also includes frequent hospital visits, where he plays video games, does arts and crafts, and plays air hockey with kids who are too ill to leave the facility. Barkov participates in an annual holiday visit to help lift the spirits of the children and their families. And, in 2024, he brought the Stanley Cup to the hospital, sharing Florida’s first championship with the community he refers to as his family. Barkov also provides a suite to host children’s hospital patients, families, doctors, nurses and staff at home games throughout the season. “During my first visit, I didn’t speak English too well. I saw everything going on – how incredible the healthcare workers are, and how special the kids are – but I couldn’t really say anything. Now, I’ve gotten more comfortable with talking. I get to connect with the staff, the kids and their families. I do what I can to give these kids a reason to smile,” said Barkov in a special essay for NHL.com .
