Congrats to Jason McCrimmon, this year’s Willie O’Ree Community Hero Award winner! We’re proud to have been among the finalists for this amazing honor. Our dreams are big, and we’re not slowing down anytime soon. Join us in working toward our ultimate goal of building a hockey rink that everyone can enjoy.

We’re just days away! Colorado President and Founder at DAWG Nation, Martin Richardson, is a finalist for the prestigious NHL Willie O’Ree Community Hero Award, with the winner to be announced June 26. The 2023 NHL Awards will air live from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Monday, June 26, at 7 p.m. CST on TNT, Sportsnet, and TVA Sports. We also want to send our best wishes to Swansea, Illinois native Clayton Keller, who’s in the running for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy. The 24-year-old overcame a fractured femur suffered during a game against the San Jose Sharks on March 30, 2022, undergoing successful surgery and six months of rehab to return for the start of the NHL season. In 2022-23, Keller posted a career-high 37 goals and 49 assists for 86 points, playing in all 82 games.
