The Âé¶¹´«Ã½Èë¿Ú (CSSHL) is excited to announce the four winners of the Student-Athlete of the Month Award for March: Ìý

For the 2024/25 season the CSSHL is proud to introduce the Student-Athlete of the Month Award for the four different CSSHL divisions/age brackets: Eastern, West Female, West U18 Male (U18 Prep, U17 Prep, U17) and West U15 Male (U15 Prep and U15) .

This award is aimed at recognizing the student-athletes within the CSSHL and acknowledges their hard work, dedication, commitment, leadership, academics and community impact.

We would like to congratulate these four student-athletes, who were all nominated by their programs, for their hard work in the month of March.

East Division – Pasquale Presti, Selwyn House School

“You can’t spell Prestige without Presti! (Taken from a social media post of a recent CSSHL game when Presti scored a ridiculously amazing goal.)

Pasquale is equally impressive off the ice as he is on the ice. His drive, motivation, work ethic, camaraderie, team spirit, and determination are evident in everything he does. He is a three-sport varsity athlete, with soccer, hockey, and baseball rounding out his Grade 12 year. In addition to his athletic achievements, he is also an accomplished actor, recently playing two lead characters in the school play “10 Ways to Screw Up Your College Interview”. His humour and physical comedy left the audience in stitches. This play ended six years of noteworthy theatre performances at Selwyn for Pasquale.

From an academic perspective, Pasquale is taking eight advanced and enriched courses in our most rigorous science stream. The college-level courses include Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Psychology, and English. His Grade 12 overall average is 97.5 %, with 99% in Pre-Cal, Calculus, Chemistry and Biology. He also produced a documentary on his family and the family-owned and operated Presti Âé¶¹´«Ã½Èë¿Ús and Developments for English class. He created this documentary with extreme thought and care, going beyond the expectations of the class. His academic results are exceptional, considering the time devoted to hockey training and travel (mainly when the team had several road trips in January and February, adding up to over three weeks away from school).

Although not an off-ice example, it is essential to highlight Selwyn’s playoff run, finishing second overall. The team played five games in five days while still attending school and meeting all their academic requirements. Pasquale always stayed on top of his work (throughout the season) and was instrumental in the playoff run, encouraging teammates and always giving his all.

In addition to academics, athletics, and extracurricular activities, Pasquale has completed applications to US and Canadian institutions, primarily for architecture programs. He diligently worked on his portfolio independently, creating 10 different pieces using different mediums to highlight his creative and technical skills. So far, this talent and dedication have awarded him admission to six prestigious schools, with merit scholarships totalling $370000 to date (the most awarded to a current grade 12 student).

While we do not rank students at Selwyn House, Pasquale is exceptional. He would place at the top of his class based on his academic performance, the rigor of his course selections, and his outstanding commitment to academics, extracurricular activities, athletics and citizenship.”

West Female Division – McKayla Romano, Pilot Mound Hockey Academy

“McKayla Romano embodies the qualities of a true student-athlete, excelling both on and off the ice. As a dedicated member of the Pilot Mound Hockey Academy, McKayla has consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to her academic pursuits, maintaining an impressive GPA while balancing the rigorous demands of her sport. Her leadership skills shine through in the classroom, where she actively participates in group projects, often taking the initiative to guide her peers and ensure their collective success.

Beyond her academic achievements, McKayla is deeply involved in community service. She volunteers with our local Can-Skate program, showcasing her compassion and dedication to giving back. In the dressing room, McKayla’s positive attitude and unwavering support for her teammates make her an invaluable presence, fostering a sense of unity and camaraderie.

McKayla’s excellence, hard work, and commitment in all aspects of her life make her truly deserving of this recognition. Her dedication to her studies, her leadership qualities, and her community involvement exemplify the values we strive to instill in our student-athletes.”

West Male U15 Division – Grayson Holmes, Okanagan Hockey Academy

“It is with great enthusiasm that we nominate Grayson Holmes for the CSSHL U15 Student of the Month. Grayson has exemplified outstanding leadership, dedication, and sportsmanship throughout this season, both on and off the ice.

As a key player on the OHA U15 team, Grayson has consistently demonstrated a positive and supportive attitude that has earned him the admiration and respect of his teammates. His leadership goes beyond skill on the ice – he has been a mentor, motivator, and friend to his peers. Grayson’s ability to keep the team morale high and foster an inclusive and encouraging environment has been a crucial part of the team’s success. His teammates fully support him and appreciate the positive impact he has on their growth, not just as players but as individuals.

In addition to his success in hockey, Grayson has expanded his horizons by joining the Penticton High School golf team this spring. His commitment to balancing both his academic and athletic pursuits, while remaining actively involved in school events and tournaments, showcases his well-rounded character and drive. Grayson’s ability to manage his time effectively, maintain high performance in both hockey and golf, and contribute to his community is truly commendable.

Grayson Holmes is a prime example of what it means to be a student-athlete. His unwavering commitment, leadership, and positive influence both in sports and at school make him a deserving candidate for the CSSHL U15 Student of the Month award.

We are proud to nominate him and look forward to seeing his continued success.”

West Male U18 Division – Mason Alexander, RHA Kelowna

“This is Mason Alexander’s first year at RINK Hockey Academy Kelowna, currently playing on the U17 team while affiliating with U17 Prep. Mason is the epitome of a CSSHL Student- Athlete, consistently exemplifying hard work both on and off the ice.

With an unwavering dedication to his academics, he leads the charge, maintaining an impressive 95% grade point average. Mason’s great attitude and infectious smile are always present, uplifting those around him. Whether he’s on the ice or volunteering at the local food bank, he’s always the first to step up. His commitment to improvement is evident every single day, as he continues to push himself to be the best version of himself in all areas of life.

All in all, Mason has a big heart and would go above and beyond for his teammates and anyone in need, always putting others first.”

The Âé¶¹´«Ã½Èë¿Ú (CSSHL) is excited to announce the three winners of the Coach of the Month Award for March: Bourget College (Martin Gascon, FX Girard, & JP Brais), Jordan Mackenzie, and Dennis McKinnon.

For the 2024/25 season the CSSHL is proud to introduce the Coach of the Month Award for the three different CSSHL divisions: Eastern, West Female, and West Male.

This award is aimed at recognizing the incredible coaches within the CSSHL and acknowledges their hard work, dedication, commitment, leadership and impact on the game both on and off the ice.

We would like to congratulate these three coaches, who were all nominated by their programs, for their hard work in the month of March.

East Division: Martin Gascon, FX Girard, & JP Brais – Bourget College

“The Bourget College coaching staff led their team to five wins in five days to win the CSSHL East U18 Championship. They navigated the team through different points of the year, allowing crucial teaching moments to apply to a rigours CSSHL Championships. The team of coaches are extremly dedicated to the development of student-athletes.”

West Female Division: Jordan Mackenzie – Delta Hockey Academy Black

“Delta nominated Jordan after an incredible playoff run that showcased preparation, passion, and leadership. Taking the youngest team in the league from a 13th place finish into the Division II finals was no small feat. From thoughtful details like playoff shirts and green playoff laces to high-intensity practices and countless hours of video prep, every detail was meticulously planned. Coach Jordan instilled belief in a group that had been labeled underdogs and helped them rise to the occasion. The team went 1-0-1 in round robin play, including the final round robin game this team battled through three consecutive overtime games—winning two of them in thrilling fashion to reach the finals. In the final, facing a significantly older and more experienced opponent, the team showed incredible heart, rallying from a 3-0 deficit to bring the game within one. The resilience Jordan and Paris’s team displayed was a direct reflection of the growth, mindset, and grit developed all season under Coach Jordan’s guidance.”

West Male Division: Dennis McKinnon – Okanagan Hockey Academy

“OHA is honoured to nominate Dennis in recognition of his exceptional leadership as the OHA U17 Head Coach. Under his guidance, the team concluded the season with an impressive 25 wins, securing second place in the division, before capping off their remarkable performance by winning the U17 Division I Championship.

However, Dennis’s impact goes far beyond wins and losses. His focus on building both skilled players and strong character has proven to be his true “X-Factor.” By fostering a positive, cohesive, and disciplined team culture, he has created an environment where players thrive not only as athletes but as individuals.

Throughout the season, Dennis has been committed to strengthening team bonds and promoting personal growth. He hosted team breakfasts and arranged various team-building activities, creating an atmosphere of unity and mutual respect. Additionally, he arranged for his players to volunteer with the Salvation Army Kettle Bells initiative over the holiday season. This community involvement gave the team a chance to give back while learning invaluable lessons in teamwork, humility, and the importance of service to others. Dennis’s dedication to these experiences underscores his belief that growth happens both on and off the ice.

Dennis’s meticulous attention to detail—whether in his coaching strategies or his commitment to his players’ overall development—demonstrates his unwavering focus on upholding the program’s core values. He ensures his players are not only prepared for the game but also equipped for success in life.

Dennis’s leadership has also had a profound impact on his coaching staff. His assistant coach has flourished in their role, thanks to the mentorship, guidance, and support Dennis provides. By empowering both players and staff, Dennis creates opportunities for growth at every level of the program.

In all aspects of his leadership, Dennis McKinnon exemplifies discipline, dedication, and the spirit of mentorship, making him a deserving winner for Coach of the Month.”
