Reading up on Charlie Conacher, I found
this:
Quote:
|
The Charlie Conacher Humanitarian Award was an award named after Conacher. It was given out to the NHL player who best exhibited outstanding humanitarian and public services contributions, and was awarded from 1968 to 1984.

But looking at the
page for the award, it doesn't say why the award was discontinued in 1984.
In 1988 Harold Ballard presented the NHL with the King Clancy award for basically the same thing, though this one tied in with the NHL (Conacher award was unaffiliated with any league).
Does anyone know why the Conacher award was discontinued?
