PHOTOS: NHL Awards 2018

June 20, 2018 Las Vegas, NV- Excited fans from around the world filed into the Hard Rock Hotel to see who would be this year’s NHL Award winners. With the amazing inaugural season of the Vegas Golden Knights and the first Stanley Cup Championship win for the Washington Capitals, this 2017/2018 hockey season proved to be a special one. 

While there were many triumphs around the hockey community this year, there was also heartbreak when 16 members of the Humboldt hockey club were killed in a bus accident on their way to a playoff game April 6, 2018. Tonight the players reunited for the first time on stage since the accident and their late coach Darcy Haugan was honored as the first-ever recipient of the NHL’s Willi O’ Ree Community Hero Award. Check out some performances from the night below.
