P.A. Kinsmen name Sportsman and Athletes of the Year; announce Jeremy Roenick as guest speaker
The recipients of the annual Sportsman and Athletes of the Year awards from the Prince Albert Kinsmen Club feature a local philanthropist, a hockey star breaking into the NHL, and a young volleyball player making international waves.
Committee chairman for the 2024 event Jared Devers said there were several worthy candidates for the award, but choosing Abby Wasutyk as one of the recipients was easy.
The volleyball player has been on a wild trajectory since picking up the sport in Grade 9 at St. Mary High School.
“The reason she won over the other candidates is based on her commitment to volleyball and obviously being selected nationally in Canada among the top 15 volleyball players. She also went on to compete internationally,” said Devers.
