Vegas Golden Knights forward Jack Eichel has been nominated for the 2023-24 King Clancy Memorial Trophy.
"The trophy is presented to the player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in his community. The nominees were selected by their respective NHL teams. The winner will be chosen by a selection committee consisting of Commissioner Gary Bettman and, for the first time, former winners of the King Clancy Memorial Trophy and the historic NHL Foundation Player Award. In determining the winner, the selection committee will consider the criteria of a nominee’s inspiration, involvement, and impact to positively benefit his community."
Eichel was selected because of the great work he does in the Vegas community. He's become a great leader for the team both on and off the ice.
This season Eichel received surgery on his knee but hasn't let that affect his game. In 62 games, the 27-year-old has scored 30 goals and 67 points. He has been an excellent play driver offensively and the Golden Knights have played their best hockey with him in the lineup.
"The nominee with the most votes will be named the winner of the King Clancy Memorial Trophy and receive a $25,000 donation to benefit a charity or charities of his choice. New this year, the winner will also be eligible to elect that his Club receive a grant from the NHL, up to $20,000, to help organize a special activation related to his humanitarian cause."
