Kevin Hayes is the Penguins' nominee for the King Clancy Memorial Trophy, awarded annually “to the player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in his community.”
Each team nominates a player, and then the winner is decided by Gary Bettman and former winners of the award and the NHL Foundation Player Award.
Hayes started Hayes' Heroes, an initiative that honors and recognizes first responders. Hayes buys tickets for first responders every home game, and then meets with them outside the locker room afterward.
