Foligno takes home King Clancy and Mark Messier awards

While the bulk of the NHL Awards won't be revealed until Wednesday night, the NHL Humanitarian Awards have come and gone, and Nick Foligno might need to invest in a bigger trophy case.

The Columbus Blue Jackets' captain was awarded the King Clancy Memorial Trophy as the player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy contribution in his community.

Foligno also took home the Mark Messier NHL Leadership Award as the player who exemplifies great leadership qualities to his team on and off the ice during the regular season.

On the ice, Foligno scored 26 goals, added 25 assists, and led the Blue Jackets to a franchise-best 108 points after they finished with the fourth-worst record in the NHL the year prior.

Away from the rink, Foligno is involved in countless amounts of charity work. Perhaps most notably, he donated $1 million to the two hospitals that saved his daughter's life after she was diagnosed with a life-threatening heart condition.
