The National Hockey League revealed the 32-team nominees for the prestigious 2025-26 King Clancy Memorial Trophy today, an honor awarded annually to the player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made noteworthy humanitarian contributions in his community.
Each NHL team gets a nomination for one player who has demonstrated an outstanding commitment to leadership and giving back, both within the locker room and in the broader community. The King Clancy Memorial Trophy, named in honor of Frank “King” Clancy, stands as one of the highest marks of character, sportsmanship, and selflessness in the sport of hockey.
Among this year’s nominees is Boston Bruins defenseman Jordan Harris, the Haverhill, Massachusetts native and former Northeastern University standout. Despite a season hampered by injury, which limited Harris to just seven games in which he posted a goal and an assist and had a minus-1 rating, his impact has been felt far beyond the scoresheet or regular-season game totals. Harris’s dedication to his team and his community has not wavered, making him a deserving candidate for this recognition.
Over the course of his NHL career, Harris has appeared in 171 games, registering 10 goals and 29 assists for a total of 39 points. His steady presence on the blue line and his off-ice leadership attributes have made him a respected figure among teammates and the Bruins organization. This latest nomination is a testament to his resilience and commitment both as a player and a humanitarian.
The winner of the King Clancy Memorial Trophy will be selected by a committee of senior NHL executives and will be announced during the league’s annual Awards mentions, as there’s really no in-house ceremony anymore. The recipient will receive a financial donation from the NHL Foundation to benefit the charity or charities of their choice.
Harris, a 25-year-old 6′-0″ 190-pound, is currently in his last season under contract and set to become a restricted free agent with arbitration rights as of July 1st this summer per the PuckPedia.com website. Jordan signed with the Bruins last summer as a free agent after spending his young NHL career primarily with the Montreal Canadiens, who drafted him in 2018, and the Columbus Blue Jackets, a team he was with prior to his arrival in his home state of Massachusetts this past year.
