The Niagara-on-the-Lake Hockey Association honoured players and volunteers at its annual awards ceremony and coaches appreciation gathering Monday evening. 

 “Our memorial awards are special because they are connected to people in our hockey community who always displayed a true love and dedication to the game and their names are carried on through the memorial awards,” association president Peter Flynn told the audience.

Anthony Felice was named Volunteer of the Year and Flynn acknowledged the countless people who donate hundreds of hours to give kids a positive hockey experience.  

Devon Neudorf, coach of the U18 rep team, earned the Kocsis/Glauser Memorial Award for coach of the year, while Lucas Pillitteri received the Mike Moore Goalie Award.

Ben Bayne won the Joel Murray Player Dedication Award and U18 rep team captain Marco Gruosso took home the Jamie Froese Memorial Award.

The association’s newest honour, the Virgil Business Association Scholarship, for a player pursuing post-secondary studies in business, was presented to Nick Munera. 

Braden Grealy received the James Berg Scholarship Award.
