CGHL is pleased to announce its 2nd season of the Scholar Athlete Award Program!  Given the self-discipline, effort, creativity, physical and mental toughness hockey demands and develops … it’s no wonder so many CGHL girls also achieve excellence in other pursuits… including academics.

Asked about the awards program, CGHL President, Kevin Sandor said, "Too often, deserving folks don't get recognized for outstanding achievements along the way towards bigger goals.  Many teams within our CGHL have more than a few girls who regularly achieve outstanding academic success while balancing the demands inherent with travel hockey. It's a credit to the girls. This is just a small token of how proud we are of their accomplishments and a chance to celebrate the character traits they're demonstrating that will serve them well in and out of the rink!" ~
