Janet Butt: President's trophy for outstanding volunteer effort.
 

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. 
David Lomas
Merrick Thomson
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. 
Nathan Gilchrist
Paul Winger
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.
Ryan McNish
Tim Cribb

Tim Cribb
