Mats Sundin, captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs, may not be sure where he will be playing hockey next year, but he definitely made an impact during the 2007-2008 season.  He has been named this year’s recipient of the Mark Messier Leadership Award in recognition of his outstanding performance as a player, his leadership skills and his dedicated humanitarian efforts.

“The truest test of leadership comes during periods of adversity,” said Messier. “When presented with difficult times during the season, Mats Sundin remained committed to his teammates, his community and to the game of hockey.  I am honored to present the Mark Messier Leadership Award to Mats Sundin. He understands the importance of his status in Toronto and his dedication to his community is unmatched.  The strength of his character makes Mats a tremendous role model both on and off the ice.”

I’m surprised Messier didn’t start crying… lol.  For more information about what charities and humanitarian efforts Sundin is involved in, click here.
