2024-25 Team Award Winners
The Soo Greyhounds Hockey Club took a pause amidst their final weekend of the regular season, and earlier tonight took the opportunity to recognize players from this year’s team at their 2024-25 Annual Awards Banquet.
The event was held at Delta Sault Ste. Marie Waterfront in front of team ownership, coaches, staff, players, billets, families, friends and special guests.
In total eleven (11) awards were distributed.
To conclude the night Hounds’ recognized their ‘graduating class’: Noel Nordh, Nolan Lalonde, Owen Allard and Caeden Carlisle.
All four were recognized with a special tribute video (can be viewed by clicking their name above) followed by heartfelt and meaningful speeches from each of them.
Special thanks goes to the staff at the Delta staff for their hospitality and outstanding service, along with 705Live (Mike Blair) for their support of this event. Your contributions to this event were greatly appreciated.
