Two Grande Prairie Storm skaters recognized for off-ice accolades

A pair of Grande Prairie Storm skaters are up for post-season awards, recognizing their hard work and dedication to their team, community, and academics throughout the past season.

The Storm remains the only undefeated squad in the playoffs and after a season filled with accolades, the boys can continue holding their heads high as the post-season awards start to roll in.

Community Ambassador

The Storm opted to nominate Will Harris as this year’s Community Ambassador after demonstrating an eagerness to help those around him throughout his two seasons with the Storm.

Officials say he is always quick to volunteer for community service- whether it’s helping out with minor hockey in the Peace Country, attending school programs, or spending time with fans.

Harris joins a crew of 11 others from across the league, and two nominees will be selected as the recipients of a $1,000 scholarship, courtesy of RBC.

All-Academic

Mid-season pickup Kailus Green was chosen as the Storm’s candidate for the 2024-25 All-Academic Team, recognizing his “commendable dedication” to his studies.

Being named to the All-Academic squad carries the chance to win a $1,500 scholarship from Inter Pipeline; however, the recipient will be announced at a later date.
