Girls hockey rewards its best and brightest

The Fort Frances Girls and Women’s Hockey Association recently held it annual Awards night, to celebrate a year of amazing hockey.

Four graduating players were awarded the FFGWHA bursary towards their further education. They were Julia Guertin, Piper Miller, Brooke Bodnarchuk and Hayden Allam.

Craig Miller was presented with the Tracy Coran Builder award for his services to the FFGWHA. Miller has held multiple board roles with the association and was also the driving force in the creation of the Girls and Women’s hockey Radio bingo fundraiser which makes the program as successful as it is and able to subsidize registration, covering tournament fees and helping with travel to large tournaments.
