Vancouver Canucks forwards Daniel and Henrik Sedin claimed the King Clancy Memorial Trophy on Wednesday, awarded to the player who "best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in his community."

The Sedins retired in April after 17 seasons in the NHL, all with the Canucks organization. Their community involvement included a $1.5-million donation to the BC Children's Hospital Foundation to expand services and help fund a new hospital.

Since 2010, the Sedins have also helped raise $42 million for the Canucks for Kids Fund, in addition to advocacy work for the Canucks Family Education Centre and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Nashville Predators defenseman P.K. Subban and Minnesota Wild forward Jason Zucker were also finalists for the award.
