Gabriel, Rinne, Subban named King Clancy finalists

San Jose Sharks forward Kurtis Gabriel, Nashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne, and New Jersey Devils defenseman P.K. Subban have been named finalists for the King Clancy Trophy, the league announced Friday.

The award is given annually to the player who exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice, and who has made a significant humanitarian contribution to his community.

Gabriel is a vocal ambassador for the LGBTQ+ community on his social media platforms, and he's shown support for numerous local charities.

Rinne established a pediatric cancer charity in 2012-13, and he continues to raise money for the children's hospital in Vanderbilt.

Subban is up for the award for the third time. The veteran has regularly engaged in charity work wherever he's played, and Subban often met with frontline workers and members of the medical community amid the pandemic.
