We played our last game of the regular season Saturday night, parents and volunteers joined the team Sunday for our year end banquet.
Assistant GM Rob Sutherland gave an inspiring speech to the players that as always came from the heart. Rob has been the one constant for the team from the beginning of the season, so it was fitting he presented the players with their awards.
Awards were presented to the following players:
Most Improved Player: Alex Smith
Heart & Hustle Award: Nash Hodgetts
Top Defenceman: Isaac Thomas
Rookie of the Year: Ethan Matiece
Most Valuable Player: Hayden Fast
On Ice Crew Chief: Cohen Dupuis
It was great to have our volunteers join us and be recognized for their commitment and effort to make game days run smoothly especially through these challenging times.
A special thank you to Ian and Doug at the Narrows Smokehouse for their generous sponsorship of the team dinner and to Shane Petit and Okanagan Restoration Services for supplying the refreshments.
