A Record 25 Nominees for the 2011 Hockey Humanitarian Award

---

When a deep crop of offensive minded defensemen comes around, it’s often referred to as a “rich load of Orr.”

When it comes to this year’s BNY Mellon Wealth Management Hockey Humanitarian Award Nominees, one could easily call it a “rich load of love.”

From backgrounds far afield, this year’s Humanitarian nominees, as much as any other group before them, have demonstrated an overwhelming devotion to their communities, and in some cases, a passion to help others thousands of miles away.

Some collect food for the hungry, others toys for needy kids. Some help educate the less fortunate around them, while others have traveled overseas to bring medical supplies and clothing to orphaned children.

Yet more important than what they bring in their arms, is the fullness of hope they bring in their hearts.
