It is that time of the year when the NHL releases the list of players nominated for individual trophies. Today, the NHL announced that Utah Hockey Club’s Alex Kerfoot has been named a finalist for the King Clancy Memorial Trophy.

The award is given to the National Hockey League player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in his community.

Kerfoot commented on his nomination:

“I am beyond grateful and very humbled to be named by our organization as its King Clancy Memorial Trophy nominee,” said Kerfoot. “It is extremely important to both me and my wife Marissa to give back to Utah by helping grow the game and providing experiences and access to the sport, especially for young girls. It’s also rewarding to play for an organization that cares so deeply about its community, and supports so many community initiatives that are also important to me and my teammates.”

Kerfoot will now join 31 other finalists. The winner will be selected by Commissioner Gary Bettman along with former winners of the King Clancy Memorial Trophy and the historic NHL Foundation Player Award. The recipient will receive the trophy as well as a $25,000 donation to a charity of their choice.
