Otters Captain Tristen Trevino Named Finalist for Dan Snyder Memorial Trophy
Erie, Pennsylvania — Erie Otters captain Tristen Trevino has been named a finalist for the Dan Snyder Memorial Trophy, awarded annually to the OHL Humanitarian of the Year.
Trevino arrived in Erie this season and, not long after, was named captain. What’s followed has been consistent, both in how he leads the team and how he’s chosen to spend his time away from the rink.
It shows up most clearly at the Gliding Stars program, where individuals with special needs are given the opportunity to learn to skate. What started as a team visit turned into something Trevino returned to on his own. Week after week, for the rest of the season.
The connection is personal. With a brother on the autism spectrum, Trevino has a clear understanding of how important programs like this can be. It shows in the way he continues to come back.
The same pattern follows everywhere else. Community events, school visits, time at the Erie City Mission. He shows up, stays late, and treats it like it matters.
The Dan Snyder Memorial Trophy recognizes players who make that kind of choice consistently, giving their time in a way that leaves a mark on the community around them.
Trevino’s season fits that description.
The Erie Otters congratulate Tristen Trevino on being named a finalist!
