The winner of the Conn Smythe award is also the MVP at the Broward Humane Society. Spokeswoman Cherry Wachter says thanks to Sam Bennett's Buddy program, every time he scored a goal this season, he took care of all the adoption fees for homeless animals. The idea came from Bennett's fiancé who volunteers at the Humane Society once a week. To date, Benny's initiative has led to the adoption of more than thirty pets.
