The former Habs captain has seen his name on some of these awards lists. It's no surprise, as he was a central figure of some successful Habs teams during the early 2000s. Koivu persevered through serious health issues to continue his NHL career, so it was even more special that he had enough left to give to keep helping the community.

Koivu was given the award for being a founder of the Saku Koivu Foundation after recovering from cancer. He raised around $2.5 million at the time of the award presentation.
