It was a night for Williams Lake Minor Hockey Association midget division players to reflect fondly on their careers and say their farewells as players, coaches and volunteers were recognized for their hard work and accomplishments throughout the season.
Fortunately for the association’s house divisions, players were able to finish off their seasons prior to the coronavirus precautions which halted all operations taken by Hockey Canada and BC Hockey last week as divisional award banquets were held from March 4 beginning at the novice division through to March 12, with the midget division at the Lake City Secondary School Williams Lake Campus.
During the awards banquets, players, parents, coaches and volunteers were thanked and congratulated for all their hard work, while award winners for the 2019/20 season were recognized.
In the atom house division most valuable player went to Brenden Roberts, most sportsmanlike was Blaine Huffman and most improved was JC David Wale.
For the peewee house division it was Maison Supernault nabbing the most valuable player honours, with Seth Cahoose earning most sportsmanlike and Jaxtyn Marklinger named most improved.
