It is basically the little brother to the Masterton, but focuses on community service. I'm cheering for Gio, of course, but this one should go to Subban.

So it's an off-ice Masterton?

Hmm. Gio seems to fit that bill.

Pretty sure PK's $10M donation to the Montreal Children's Hospital locks this one up for him.

Nothing against Gio, but Subban donated 10 million bucks to the Montreal Children's Hospital.

Wowza. That's a lot of money, even for an NHL star. Good for him

Absolutely. As much as I like Gio, it's pretty hard to compete with that.

Great guys all around though.

Subban deserves the award for sure after his contributions both monetarily and time wise
