King Clancy Memorial Trophy

Amid one of the most tumultuous seasons for a franchise in NHL history, the Phoenix Coyotes captain kept his team focused on the task at hand. The club battled through rumours of relocation, a coaching change and bankruptcy, but through it all Doan remained a positive leader and the Coyotes somehow managed to thrive in the desert.

Because of the turmoil in the Coyotes front office, little was expected from the team on the ice, but it was long-time captain, Doan, who led the club to a franchise record 107 points, finishing the NHL’s regular season with the league’s fourth best record and qualifying for the playoffs for the first time since 2002.
