The Williams Lake Minor Hockey Association celebrated the end of the season earlier this month with divisional awards banquets.
Players, coaches and volunteers were recognized for their hard work, dedication, commitment and sportsmanship during the course of the season.
In the atom division it was Beau Sanford, following in his brother, Max’s, footsteps bringing home the most valuable player award. Max had won the trophy the year prior, which was also won by Montreal Canadiens’ goaltender Carey Price in 1997.
Most sportsmanlike player went to Chase Dube, while Conner Petitclerc-Crosby picked up the most improved player.
In the peewee division Brenden Higginson was awarded the most valuable player, Ty Robertson won most sportsmanlike and Brooke Levens claimed the most improved player.
Bantam player Logan Hutchinson, meanwhile, earned the most valuable player in his division.
Nikolas Szekely and Daisy Perry won most sportsmanlike and most improved players, respectively.
In the midget division the most valuable player was shared by two people — Ben Stafford and Taylor DeGroot.
Most sportsmanlike honours went to Ben Lamb-Yorski, most improved went to Dawson Morgan and most inspirational (the Darrel Ford Memorial Award) went to Parker Kennedy.

Coach of the year was midget house coach Earl Call, volunteer of the year was Kris Beaulne, the Danielle Helmer Memorial Award went to Jenna Morey, the Russell Gibson Memorial Award was won by Keegan Morey and the Kevin Howell Memorial Award was presented to Lucas Paterson.
