Each year at our annual organizational banquet, we recognize our teams’ efforts and present players with individual awards for each of the record-keeping divisions. Below you will find a list of past years award winners.
The “Panther of the Year” is given to the Panther(s) that show the most dedication to the organization; on the ice, and off the ice.
2021–22: Bob Rishell
2019–20: Ed Mirigliano & Eric Lowry
2018–19: Gavin Maurer & Cooper Younger
The “Rocket” award goes to the player that accumulated the most points for their team throughout the season.
2023–24: Nathan Giblin
2022–23: Jonathon Boozer
2021–22: James Mirigliano
2020–21: Cole Hoff
2019–20: EJ Mirigliano
2018–19: James Mirigliano
The “MVP” award goes to the player that most valuable to their team throughout the season.
The “FOY” award goes to the forward that most valuable to their team throughout the season.
The “DOY” award goes to the defenseman that most valuable to their team throughout the season.
The “7th Player” award goes to the player that is most willing to do what is best for the team, regardless of individual achievements throughout the season.
The “CC” award goes to the player that works the hardest all the time (off-ice, on-ice, practice, and games) throughout the season.
The “SPIRIT” award goes to the player that never gives up, no matter what the circumstances may be. This individual may not get the most playing time, or be the most skilled, but their spirit embodies all the character we want our Panthers to be.
