Most Outstaning Player
2024 is the Inaugural for the GCBHL Outstanding Player Presented by Dairy Queen (Dunmore Rd & Strachan Rd Locations).
The MOP is not necessarily the highest scoring, the fastest, the strongest or the best player on your team.
The MOP IS however:
- a Team Player.
- plays hard... always.
- backchecks and is responsible to his teammates
- (if a top line player), one who helps coach and mentor less experienced players.
- (if less experienced), one who works hard and never gives up.
- This player is a cheerleader, regardless of score.
- a player whose presence makes the game more fun and better.
MOPs are selected by their coaches and will receive a $5 gift card to use at Dairy Queen on Dunmore Road or Strachan Road.

| 11U - White Knights (1) | Austin Hull | Austin leaves everything on the floor after every shift. He plays up and back, supporting forwards and defense, doesn't matter where he is playing. Austin is always smiling and laughing and brings energy to the room. What Austin lacks in size he makes up with speed, skill and hockey IQ. |

| 13U - Aces (1) | Gracin Zimmerman | He was at every game ready to play. He never gave up no matter the situation, no matter how many goals were scored. He never showed any poor attitude and was always ready to listen and learn. He got along with all his teammates. This was also his first year playing hockey and showed great improvement throughout the year. |
| 13U - Pigeons (2) | Gibsyn Aadland | She hustles and always gives 100%, is respectful, easy going and coachable |
| 13U - Oilers (3) | Maximus Gyorfi | Max is the MOP of the oilers because he was present to every game and played whatever position I asked him to, and worked his hardest at that position. Whether or not it was goalie, forward or defence he played his hardest as well as giving his D partners advice or the goalie in net. Max was the confidence left in the team |
| 13U - Cherries (4) | Carter Fournier | He gives 100 percent all the time. He knows where to be at all times and plays smart hockey. He also helps set up plays and brings a great positive attitude to the team. |
| Team | Player | comments |
| 15U - Blazin Blueberries (1) | Dane Friedt | Dane is the hardest working all game every game. Best two way player on the team. Could count on him to backcheck hard every game. Dane stood out on the team with trying to motivate everyone to keep their mind in the game. Not only a great player but a great leader. He used his skill and motivation to help the less experienced players better them selves this season. |
| 15u - Black Mambas (2) | ||
| 15U - Pylons (3) | Connor Schmaltz | A goalie's performance can single-handedly determine the result of a game, often more so than any individual player. Connor's unwavering tenacity to be the best player on the floor every game proved impactful as he had multiple crucial saves in high-pressure situations where he was able to steal a win for our team when we were outplayed. Goalie's face a unique psychological pressure as their mistakes are usually more costly and visible than those of other players, but Connor's great saves and game-changing performances far overshadowed any occasional missteps. |
| 15U - Mustangs (4) |
