Chris Chelios of the Detroit Red Wings has been honored with a nomination for the Masterton award:
Chelios is the Red Wings’ nominee for the 40th Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy, which honors the NHL player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey.

Perseverance and dedication… The guy is 46 years old and still playing so I’m going to say that, yeah, he will likely win this one, lol.
