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 April.

East Division – Leonard Ess, Okanagan Hockey Ontario

“Leo is in his third year with OHO U18 Prep. He is a defenseman who plays in all situations, missing only one game in the past two seasons. Leo is OHO’s all-time CSSHL games played leader at 56 regular season games played.

Leo has been an assistant captain for the past two years and has volunteered extensively in the community over his three years with OHO, including over 35 hours with Clarington Thunder Mini Watts, helping run practices for five year old beginner hockey. Leo has volunteered annually at a local Autism Awareness Fun Fair donating his time running games for LRCSS.

In his grade 10 year, Leo volunteered as a on-ice helper at all practices with his billet brothers U11 team. Leo currently is a volunteer assistant coach on OHO’s 2012 spring team helping with practices and games

Leo is a high-achiever academically. In his grade 10 year he had a 92% average, he had a 93% average in his grade 11 year and currently has a 94% average in his grade 12 year.

Grade 12: Leo currently has a 99% grade in Calculus and received a 98% in math functions and a 97% in Physics during semester 1

Grade 11: Leo finished with a 98% in both physics and math functions

Leo plans to attend University for Business and is currently going through his acceptance process. He leads by example in everything he does. He never misses practices, leads with his work-ethic in the gym daily, is constantly engaged with our U15/U16 teams and is a role model for our younger players.”

West Female Division – Haley Hunter, South Alberta Hockey Academy

“Her dedication and work ethic, both in the classroom and at the rink, have been nothing short of outstanding this semester.

Haley is currently balancing a demanding academic load; completing Math 30-1 online while also taking Chemistry 30 and Biology 30 in person. This is a challenging combination, yet she has managed it with impressive discipline. She is on the verge of completing her Math course and has remained on track all semester with minimal reminders from myself. This is a testament to her strong internal drive and mature time management skills.

These qualities will no doubt serve her well as she transitions to post-secondary studies at Lake Forest next season. Even during the off-season, Haley shows up every day ready to put in the work on the ice, maintaining her high standard of performance and leadership. Beyond academics and athletics, Haley continues to give back to the community. Over the past two months we have been volunteering at the local food shelter in town on Monday mornings. Haley has consistently signed up bi-weekly, which is much more often than most of her peers. Her willingness to step up whenever help is needed speaks volumes about her character.

Haley is having an exceptional semester, and I have no doubt she鈥檒l finish it as strongly as she started.”

West Male U15 Division – Owen Besserer, RHA Kelowna

“Owen Besserer is in his first year as a full-time student athlete in the CSSHL with the RINK Kelowna U15 team. Owen鈥檚 commitment and dedication, attitude and mentality, both on and off the ice is not often seen in one so young, but one all student-athletes should strive for. Owen is excelling in his Grade 8 classes and is taking Grade 9 math. Owen鈥檚 teachers describe him as a calm and focused presence in the classroom. He has a strong sense of teamwork and works well with his peers; he always remains focused while having a positive influence on those around him. He is always ready to maximize his efficiency on the ice, in the gym, or in the classroom. Owen is always ready to seize the day!”

West Male U18 Division – Kyson Lindsay, Wenatchee Wild Hockey Academy

“Kyson has just been recognized as Eastmont High School鈥檚 Academic Top 10 for the entire school. This has never happened in our two year history in the CSSHL and since starting with Eastmont High School.

Kyson is a standout player and leader on our team and has consistently demonstrated exceptional academic performance over the past five months. Kyson鈥檚 academic achievements are noteworthy, with impressive final grades submitted just
last week:

• Chemistry: 99%
• Honors English: 93%
• Civics: 98%
• Math: 95%
• Physics: 98%

On the ice, Kyson’s commitment to excellence and strong work ethic have been truly remarkable. As an assistant captain, he provides valuable leadership both on and off the ice, playing a crucial role in our team鈥檚 success. Kyson leads by example every day, consistently showing his versatility, dedication, and outstanding qualities as a teammate.

Off the ice, in January Kyson launched his own initiative, Paws for a Wild Cause, a humanitarian effort in partnership with the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society to support animals in need. This initiative serves as a lifeline, providing shelter, medical care, and emergency assistance for vulnerable animals. Kyson recognized the critical role such support plays during times of crisis, especially during natural disasters like wildfires. Inspired to take action after witnessing the devastating impact of the wildfires in Los Angeles, he was driven by the urgency to bring hope and aid to animals during these challenging times. Kyson shared that the inspiration for the fundraiser name came from a creative play on the word 鈥渨ild鈥� connecting both the wildfires and the Wenatchee Wild.

Kyson Launched the Paws for a Wild Cause fundraiser on January 28, 2025, at the Wenatchee Wild WHL home game, inspiring his teammates to help raise awareness and funds for the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society. The fundraiser will run through February 9, coinciding with the Wenatchee Cup where players will continue supporting Kyson鈥檚 efforts. So far, they have raised $988.00 toward their $3000.00 goal.

Kyson鈥檚 dedication, leadership, community service, and commitment to excellence are undeniable. He exemplifies the true meaning of a student-athlete, inspiring those around him through his performance, work ethic, and ability to lead both on and off the ice.”
