The King Clancy Trophy is awarded annually to the player (or potentially players in this case, since the Sedins are being grouped together) who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in the community.
The Sedin twins' on-ice leadership is well known, but their charitable efforts throughout Vancouver might fly under the average fan's radar. The Canucks outlined the pair's generosity and selflessness in a video that can be seen below:

Zucker and Subban are also no strangers to charity work. Zucker's #Give16 campaign has raised over $900,000 in seven months, while Subban's work with children's hospitals in both Montreal and Nashville has been well-documented, and he also founded a new initiative this season - P.K.'s Blueline Buddies.
