The 2021-2022 Esso Awards were held last night at the Kindersley Curling Rink. The local players received their awards, but recognition was also given out to the many volunteers that helped the event specifically, and hockey season overall for the kids. A big shoutout was given as well to non-parent coaches Travis Vogel(U18), Marley Ervine (U15), Hailey Gray (U15), and Amber Rennie (U13).

Approximately 300 people were in attendance through the split event last night, as the first half of the event was dedicated to the U7-U11 teams, and then the U13-U18 players rolled in after.
