The following awards are presented annually to members of the Durham West Girls' Hockey Association (DWGHA) in recognition of their acheivements and/or contribution: Sears Memorial Award
The Sears’ Memorial was first awarded at the end of the 1998-1999 season.
It is to commemorate the lives of Andrew and Rebecca Sears. Two children who left us well before their time. Their parents were strong volunteers with DWGHA since it’s inception.
It is presented to a Tyke or Novice player in House League who best exemplifies Andrew and Rebecca. The two young children of Rick and Sharon Sears who fought valiantly to defeat their illness. Their strength and spirit brought the people around them closer together in a common goal and they encouraged all by their example.
The player to receive this award should be someone who is respected by her teammates and coaches, demonstrates a willingness to work hard and encourage others by their words and actions. This player may not excel in the game of hockey, but their tenacity towards achieving their personal best is admired by all.
Each Novice team selects one player and the Director of House League confirms the winner.
