Milt Schmidt -
Potential Inaugural Recipients (Past or Present):

- 20-year Bruin, ultimate team-first player, Selke legend, captain with quiet strength, community leader.
2. Steve Yzerman – Detroit Red Wings
- 22-year playing career in Detroit; transitioned to front office. Humble, tough leader. Maintained loyalty even post-retirement by returning to Detroit in GM role.
3. Nicklas Lidström – Detroit Red Wings
- Entire 20-season career with the Wings. Graceful, steady, classy. Embodied humility and professionalism.
4. Dustin Brown – Los Angeles Kings
- Longtime captain, two-time Cup winner, played entire career with LA. Quiet but fierce leadership.
