The Provincials are still two months away, but with the five circuit tournaments of the season wrapped up, it may be time for everyone to start thinking about who should be considered for the OAA annual awards:
Promoter of the Year
Rookie of the Year
Most Improved Puller
Murray Park Memorial Award
The winners of these awards are voted on by the members of the Executive, but all opinions are considered, so let’s hear what you think.
History Lesson:
2010 Winners:
Promoter of the Year – Mike Gould
Rookie of the Year – Bill Cameron
Most Improved Puller – Jeff Kaye
Murray Park Memorial Award – Guy Windover
2009 Winners:
Promoter of the Year – Joe Gould
Rookie of the Year – Brad Wade
Most Improved Puller – Gerald Ronald
Murray Park Memorial Award – Mike Gould
2008 Winners:
Promoter of the Year – Joe Gould
Rookie of the Year – Laura Cook
Most Improved Puller – Jeff Penney
Murray Park Memorial Award – Rick Heidebrecht
Here are brief descriptions of the awards:
Promoter of the Year - An individual who has made particular efforts to grow the sport of armwrestling within the province, whether by organizing tournaments, building up a strong team, encouraging new pullers, etc. will be named Promoter of the Year.
Rookie of the Year - This award will be given to a relatively new puller who has had success very quickly in the sport.
Most Improved Puller - This award will be given to a puller who has made significant performance improvements over the course of the year, through hard work and dedication.
Murray Park Memorial Award - This award will be given out to a puller who, win or lose, maintained a positive attitude and love of the sport. Sportsmanlike behaviour would certainly be demonstrated by the winner of this award.
