King Clancy Memorial Trophy

The King Clancy Memorial Trophy is awarded annually to the National Hockey League (NHL) player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and who has made a significant humanitarian contribution to his community. Since the award was established in 1988, no player has won it more than once. The winner is chosen by "a special panel of representatives" from the Professional Hockey Writers' Association and the NHL Broadcasters' Association.

The trophy is named in honour of Francis M. "King" Clancy, a former player for the Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs who later went on to become a coach, referee, and team executive. The trophy was first awarded in 1988, and was presented to the NHL by Maple Leafs owner Harold Ballard, who called Clancy "one of the greatest humanitarians that ever lived". It honors similar community service as the Charlie Conacher Humanitarian Award which was retired in 1984.

Five teams have had more than one player win the award. Three Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames, and Boston Bruins have each won the award, with Ray Bourque and Dave Poulin winning the award in consecutive years for the same team for the only time in the award's history. Two New York Islanders and Detroit Red Wings have also won the award. Players from the seven different Canadian teams have won this trophy on 12 of the 28 occasions that it has been awarded. Three members each from the Edmonton Oilers, and Calgary Flames, two members from the Vancouver Canucks, as well as one each from the Montreal Canadiens, Ottawa Senators, Toronto Maple Leafs, and the Winnipeg Jets have all won the award.
