Rookie of the Year |
| David Lomas |
| One of the most
successful rookie performances in O.L.A. history, he was the
only 17-year old in the league routinely keyed upon by
opposing defenses, and one of the most uncontainable forwards
in the league. He somehow missed league rookie-of-the-year
honors by a single vote. |

Sportsman of the Year |
| Merrick Thomson |
Selfless and modest on and
off the floor, he never complained or took a bad penalty. He
approached every game with the will to perform his role at the
highest level possible and that he did. |
|
|
Most Valuable Player |
| Nathan Gilchrist |
| A menace to opponents
whether he's got the ball or hunting for it, he's one of
those rare players who gives 110% every shift. The stuff
championship teams are made of. |

Defensive Player of the Year |
| Paul Winger |
| Tough, talented and
clever, he vastly exceeded expectations in just his first
full Junior-A season. He provided expert defensive services
and notched more than his share of goals to boot. |
|
|
|
Chris Heipel Memorial Trophy |
| Ryan McNish |
| "Awarded annually by
the players to the individual who bests exhibits commitment,
enthusiasm and devotion to his team." Ryan's ability to
charge and motivate this teammates formed an exceptional
contribution to the team. His dominating on-floor performance
will be deeply missed, along with his unparalleled energy and
spirit. |

|

| "To the player who
best exemplifies the pride and spirit of Chiefs lacrosse."
A long time favorite of teammates, organizers and fans, Tim's
unique brand of effort, dedication and pride marked a
priceless contribution to Chiefs lacrosse for five memorable
years and his impact as a role model will last for many
more. |
