as recipients of the<br />

J.J. O’Connor Award.<br />

Every year the award<br />

is credited to individuals<br />

who demonstrates good<br />

character, leadership and<br />

sportsmanship; it is also<br />

meant to honor devoted individuals<br />

who are ambassadors<br />

in the community<br />

and those who persevere<br />

regardless of obstacles.<br />

The Sleds Are Coming<br />
