Each and every year, Forbes recognizes 30 athletes and entrepreneurs in the sports world that are changing the game on and off the field, ice, or any other playing surface with their '30 Under 30' list.
On Tuesday, Forbes released their annual list for 2018 and three hockey players made their way onto it.
P.K. Subban, Hilary Knight and Braden Holtby were recognized for their efforts on and off the ice, and Forbes detailed how these three athletes (along with ever other member of the list) made the cut:
This is the seventh year of our 30 Under 30 list. To curate the best game-changers out there, we foraged through nearly 100 online submissions and relied on our own reporting to generate a list of nearly 50 candidates. We shipped these candidates out to our three judges to determine who made the final cut. Our judges for this year were Steve Ballmer, Simone Biles and Alex Morgan -- Biles and Morgan being alumni of the list themselves.
Subban might be the most charitable person in the NHL, and this season he introduced the Blueline Buddies program to make a difference in Nashville with underprivileged kids and police officers.
Knight started a movement with her #BeBoldForChange hashtag and she's fought for fair wages, something that transcends the sport of hockey.
Holtby has been great between the pipes for the Capitals and he's shown his support for the LGBTQ community on multiple occasions throughout his career in Washington.
