Linden's career as an NHL hockey player and humanitarian has been
remarkable. Trevor frequently visits B.C.'s Children's Hospital
and is a supporter and spokesperson for the Canadian Cancer Society
and the Cancer Society Lottery of Hope, and Canuck Place, a hospice
for terminally ill children. Linden has started a program for underprivileged
children called Trevor's Captain's Crew, which brings children by
limousine to a free hockey game complete with a luxury suite at
GM Place. In 1997, he was awarded the King Clancy Trophy for his
leadership role and off-ice humanitarian contributions, and the
Gillette World Champion Award as the Canadian athlete who best exemplifies
excellence in sports and compassion and humanitarianism off the
ice.
