8. Gary Woodford Atom House Team Award
There will be a "call for nominations" near the end of the season from coaches and other nominators. It is very helpful if you are nominating someone for an award to state why you are nominating this person. The Nomination Committee will review all award nominations and the winner(s) chosen. Winners will receive notification to attend the awards ceremony.
9. Debbie Cooper Memorial Trophy
This annual award should focus on the essence of what Debbie felt. It is not about a particular volunteer, player, or team but commitment to our community. The recipient of this award should not be someone from a specific part of our game, but someone who is tireless in whatever aspect of JDFMHA they aspire to. This could be a referee or linesman, someone that sits in for the time clock game in/game out, a fundraiser, a coach or manager that goes the extra mile, an arena employee, a divisional manager that puts in endless hours as some examples.
