Port Hardy Minor Hockey officially wrapped up hockey season with its Annual General Meeting and Awards Ceremony, which was held this year at the Civic Centre in Port Hardy.

The April 10 event featured coaches and volunteers presenting each player of the 2017-2018 season with a special award to recognize their participation and hard work.

They were also given awards for Most Improved, Most Dedicated, and Sportsmanship.

Three club-wide awards were then presented, including Mentor of the Year, which was taken home by North Island Midget Eagles’ Luke Gage, Most Inspirational player, which was taken home by Owain Jewell, and Referee of the Year, which was taken home by Peter Carter and Mike MacDonald.
