This past Saturday night, we gathered to honour the heart and soul of Sherwood Park Minor Hockey — our volunteers. From behind-the-scenes organizers to bench bosses and team helpers, these incredible individuals dedicate countless hours to making hockey happen for our community. The evening was filled with gratitude, laughter, and well-deserved recognition. We’re proud to announce the winners of the 2025 SPMHA Volunteer Appreciation Awards!
