The award is presented to a 2007 - 2009 born player who is participating in our Rep or House League program this season in memory of Dan McNeil who played for our Association. While playing for the Uxbridge Junior “C” team in 1992, Dan was killed in a car accident on his way home from a game. This award goes to a player who stands out amongst the crowd. The criteria for this award include leadership (on and off the ice), work ethic, perseverance, contribution to the team, and their community involvement. The award is not based solely on a player’s skill or on-ice performance. Their academic standing is not a consideration.
