WAYNE GRETZKY AWARD

Hockey Edmonton and all the member organizations take pride in helping to develop character both on and off the ice. Quikcard Edmonton Minor Hockey Week takes that philosophy forward by recognizing three well-rounded athletes (EFHL, Elite, and Junior) who make an impact in the community with Wayne Gretzky Awards.

Recipients are selected by a committee based on their outstanding sportsmanship, community involvement, and academic successes.

Congratulations to this year's winners: Kellen Kowalchuk, Kareem Amerey, and Samantha Lee

HISTORY OF HOCKEY EDMONTON’S WAYNE GRETZKY AWARD:

Widely recognized as the greatest hockey player of all time, Wayne Gretzky spent a decade in orange and blue, winning four Stanley Cups with the Edmonton Oilers and rewriting the NHL record book in the process. While he left an undeniable mark on the sport, his contributions off the ice have also been significant.

The trophy for the Wayne Gretzky Award is modelled after the iconic bronze statue of Wayne Gretzky, which was first unveiled in the City of Champions in August of 1989. Recipients of the Wayne Gretzky Awards are honoured with three of only five official miniature replicas in the entire world of the 950-pound, 9-foot-2-inch-tall bronze likeness of ‘the Great One’. As rare as the talent Gretzky possessed, these three trophies are no exception; upon completion of the limited-edition replica statues, the mold was destroyed and no more will ever be made.

Awarded annually during the Quikcard Edmonton Minor Hockey Week to three players, the prestigious Wayne Gretzky Awards are presented to athletes who embody the qualities that mark a true rising star, both on and off the ice.

To date, over 100 players have been bestowed the honour of the Wayne Gretzky Award during Quikcard Edmonton Minor Hockey Week. Developing leaders on the ice and in our community, we are proud to recognize these outstanding athletes.
