The award is presented to the player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in his community.
Since 2017, Drouin has served as an ambassador for the CHUM Foundation. He has committed to helping raise $5 million and pledged to make a personal donation of $50,000 annually for 10 years. Drouin's golf tournament also benefits thousands of CHUM patients.

During a standard season, the "Jo and his Champions" Suite program hosts children in need at each home game at the Bell Centre. The program makes it possible for up to 350 children from across the province to come and cheer on their favorite team every year. Kids enjoy a memorable evening and forget about their hardships for a few hours.
Early in the pandemic, Drouin was alongside Quebec Premier François Legault distributing masks to those using public transportation to encourage Quebecers to wear masks in public and raise awareness about COVID-19 safety measures.
The nominees were selected by their respective NHL teams. The winner will be chosen by a committee of senior NHL executives led by Commissioner Gary Bettman and Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly.

Drouin appeared in 44 games this season before taking an indefinite leave of absence from the team for personal reasons on April 28.
Former captain Saku Koivu claimed the award in 2007 after beating non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and raising funds to purchase the first PET/CT scanner in Montreal through his foundation.
The scanner allows doctors to diagnose cancer earlier and better manage treatment.
