Hockey Humanitarian Award

The Hockey Humanitarian Award is an award that is given annually, since 1996, to a college ice hockey player – male or female – who has given back to their communities in the true humanitarian spirit.

Selection process

[edit]

Every year, the foundation board solicits nominations from every NCAA varsity hockey program in the country, male and female, in Divisions I to III.

Leadership

[edit]

The founding directors of the award are John R. Greenhalgh and Jeffrey Millman, after observing injured Division I player (and their choice as first recipient), J. P. McKersie, coaching their son's minor hockey team.[1][non-primary source needed] Sponsors of the award include Ulmer & Berne, LLP, the Joyce M. And Herbert W. Stielau Foundation, Brokaw, the American Hockey Coaches Association, and USCHO.com.
