NHL Foundation Player Award Winners

The NHL Foundation Player Award, awarded annually since 1998, honors the player "who applies the core values of (ice) hockey -- commitment, perseverance and teamwork -- to enrich the lives of people in his community."

A total of 20 players have won the award, beginning with Kelly Chase of the St. Louis Blues in 1998. Vincent Lecavalier of the Tampa Bay Lightning and Trevor Linden of the Vancouver Canucks shared the award in 2008. No player has won twice.

The award is closely related to the King Clancy Memorial Trophy; each is awarded to a player who has made a significant humanitarian contribution to his community.
