Shattenkirk Named Ducks Nominee for 2022-23 King Clancy Trophy

The Ducks announced today that defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk has been named the club's nominee for the 2022-23 King Clancy Memorial Trophy, 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."

The winner will be chosen by a committee of senior NHL executives led by Commissioner Gary Bettman and Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly. The selection committee will apply the following criteria in determining the finalists and winner:

The first-place finisher will receive a $25,000 donation to benefit a charity or charities of his choice. The two runners-up each will receive a $5,000 donation to benefit a charity or charities of their choice.

"When I made it into the NHL, one of the most important things I learned was that our work doesn't only happen inside the arena," said Shattenkirk. "Supporting the local community and helping those in need has always been a priority for me and my family. Fans are always going out of their way to support us on the ice and I think it is just as important for us as players to do the same for them. It is extremely fulfilling and I'm always amazed at what can be achieved by donating a little bit of time to people who look up to us."

Earlier this season, in his role as a NHLPA Player Inclusion Coalition member, Shattenkirk donated $5,000 to the Anaheim Family YMCA to supply kids with youth hockey scholarships to help them start their own hockey journeys. After the announcement of the donation, Shattenkirk also hosted a youth street hockey clinic for over 50 kids with fellow coalition members Anson Carter and Al Montoya to teach kids from the YMCA hockey fundamentals and coach them in a scrimmage. Following Shattenkirk's lead, the Anaheim Ducks and the Anaheim Family YMCA are working together to identify and offer a range of experiences and opportunities to grow the game of street hockey while promoting a healthy and active lifestyle for Anaheim's youth.

Shattenkirk, 34 (1/29/89), has collected 97-363=460 points with 526 penalty minutes (PIM) in 891 career games with Anaheim, Tampa Bay, Washington, New York Rangers, St. Louis and Colorado. He helped the Lightning to a Stanley Cup championship in 2019-20, scoring 3-10=13 points with a +8 rating in 25 postseason games. Originally selected by Colorado in the first round (14th overall) of the 2007 NHL Draft, Shattenkirk has recorded 8-39=47 points in 85 career Stanley Cup Playoff contests with Tampa Bay, Washington and St. Louis. He was named an NHL All-Star in 2014-15.

The New Rochelle, N.Y. native has also represented Team USA at several international tournaments, including the 2014 Winter Olympic Games, 2011 World Championship, 2009 World Junior Championship and 2007 World U-18 Championship (silver medal) and 2006 World U-17 Hockey Challenge (silver medal). He also helped lead Boston University to an NCAA championship in 2009 and was named an NCAA Second Team All-American.

Signed by Anaheim as a free agent Oct. 9, 2020, Shattenkirk spent the past three seasons with Anaheim, tallying 14-63=77 points in 212 games from 2020-23. Since his Ducks debut, he ranks second among all Anaheim skaters in appearances, fourth in assists and power play points (3-24=27), and fifth in points. Among Anaheim defensemen, he trails only Cam Fowler in points, goals, assists and games played in that span. In 2022-23, Shattenkirk recorded 4-23=27 points with 56 PIM in 75 games.

About the King Clancy Memorial Trophy
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.
