An U8 to U12 player who is a good sport and best exemplifies the True Sport principles go for it, play fair, respect others, keep it fun, stay healthy, include everyone and give back. This award is not about the number of goals scored but rather the positive impact this player has made on his or her team.
Owen is a currently a grade 7 student at Gorsebrook Jr High and was a member of the Halifax City U12 Academy team. On the field Owen is a hard working player that helps bring the best out of his teammates. Owen's love for soccer is evident, as he gives back to the sport by helping with his brother's U10 team, serving as a role model for the younger players. Off the field, Owen is actively involved in the community, was a member of the Interact group focused "we act" activities for social justice and social change.
Volunteer of the Year (Regional)- Sharleen Nielsen
