The Calgary Flames' Mikael Backlund won the King Clancy Memorial Trophy Monday night.

Backlund was one of three finalists for the honour, selected out of nominees from each team in the National Hockey League.

The centre has spent his entire NHL career with the Flames since he was drafted in 2007, the organization noted in a release issued to media. "As an ambassador for both Kids Cancer Care and Special Olympics Calgary, Backlund – who had a childhood friend diagnosed with cancer and another who was born with Down syndrome – has invited an additional 500 guests to attend Flames games and meet with him afterward," the Flames' release read.
