The NHL announced the 31 nominees for this year's King Clancy Memorial Trophy.
The award is handed out annually to the player who "best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in his community."
Each team chooses its nominee, and the winner is then chosen by a committee of NHL executives led by commissioner Gary Bettman and his deputy, Bill Daly.
The winner will receive a $25,000 donation to a charity or charities of their choice, while the two runners-up will receive $5,000 each.
