The Fairmont Royal York Hotel, Toronto
We invite you to join us for an evening of star-studded entertainment, world class dining, online, silent and live auctions and more as we celebrate the 75th anniversary of this historic event.
We are pleased to announce that the 2026 Conn Smythe Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented to Wendel Clark, a true leader on and off the ice.
Beyond his celebrated career with various NHL Teams, most notably as Captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Wendel has dedicated himself to giving back to communities across Canada. Through his charitable work, mentorship, and ongoing commitment to youth and families, he continues to exemplify the values of generosity, leadership, and community spirit. His lasting impact reaches far beyond the game, making him a most deserving recipient of this honour.
