Hockey Humanitarian Award

The Hockey Humanitarian Award is an award that is given annually, since 1996, to a college ice hockey player – male or female – who has given back to their communities in the true humanitarian spirit.

Selection process

Every year, the foundation board solicits nominations from every NCAA varsity hockey program in the country, male and female, in Divisions I to III.

Leadership

The founding directors of the award are John R. Greenhalgh and Jeffrey Millman, after observing injured Division I player (and their choice as first recipient), J. P. McKersie, coaching their son's minor hockey team.^[1]^{[non-primary source needed]} Sponsors of the award include Ulmer & Berne, LLP, the Joyce M. And Herbert W. Stielau Foundation, Brokaw, the American Hockey Coaches Association, and USCHO.com.
