This distinguished trophy is bestowed annually upon the player showcasing superior sportsmanship, gentlemanly demeanor, and exceptional playing skills. McAvoy's recent charitable endeavors have undeniably positioned him as a strong contender for this highly esteemed award.
As part of the Bruins' Thanksgiving Day tradition, McAvoy personally procured 400 pies for distribution among 14 different organizations in the Greater Boston area. Among the notable beneficiaries of his thoughtful gesture are the New England Center & Home for Veterans, St. Francis House, Pine Street Inn, and The Home for Little Wanderers.
Some players also took the time to celebrate Thanksgiving Day for Boston organizations.
