Former NHLer, HHOF inductee Jeremy Roenick helps recognize P.A.’s year in sports at Sportsman Dinner
Former NHL great and 2024 Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Jeremy Roenick helped honour Prince Albert’s year in sports on Saturday night during the annual Kinsmen Sportsman Dinner at the Ches Leach Lounge inside the Art Hauser Centre.
Roenick headlined the 2024 installment of the event, which honoured and recognized the best in sport in our community over the last year by handing out the Male and Female Athletes of the Year awards as well as the Sportsman of the Year award. The event also auctioned off a plethora of donated items that helped raise funds for the new main arena in P.A.’s Yard District.
Prior to supper, a moment of silence was held to honour the passing of Bruce Vance which was followed by a brief prayer. After supper, the awards portion of the show began.
Recognized as the Female Athlete of the Year was Team Canada volleyball player and St. Mary graduate Abby Wasutyk. Over the last year, she has been training with the Volleyball Canada Women’s National Excellence Program (NEP). This past summer, she traveled to Honduras and competed with the U19 National Team for the Continental Championships, finishing with a silver medal.
