This annual award is presented "to the player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in his community." The trophy was presented to the NHL by the NHL Board of Governors in 1988 to honour the memory of the late Francis "King" Clancy.

Although small in stature, Clancy was large when it came to the game of hockey. He was a large factor in the original Ottawa Senators Hockey Club's success and he later was instrumental with the Toronto Maple Leafs and their Stanley Cup victories. Clancy also did some emergency coaching when required, but he was always an ambassador for the Maple Leafs and the game of hockey.
