SCOTT MILLER AWARD: Patrick Sanvido

Presented to the player who shows the most commitment to the team, both on and off the ice, throughout the season. Named in honour of Scott Miller, who was rewarded for his commitment to the organization by becoming the first Spitfires player to have his number (23) retired. Miller played for the club between 1972 and 1976, serving as the team's captain during the 1975-76 season.

PAUL MAURICE AWARD FOR DETERMINATION & DEDICATION: Andrew Rowberry

Presented to the staff member that has demonstrated the most dedication and commitment to the team. Named in honour of Paul Maurice, who played for the Spitfires from 1984 to 1988, winning an OHL Championship in 1987-88. Maurice, who was captain of the 87-88 team, as an overager, gave up his captaincy and spot on the roster so the team could acquire overage goalie Pat Jablonski in the middle of the season. The move helped solidify the position and Jablonski was a key component of the championship run. Maurice served as an assistant coach for the remainder of that season.

JAKE POLLEN HARDEST WORKING SPITFIRE OF THE YEAR: Cristiano DiGiacinto

Presented annually to the player who best exemplifies hard work on the ice. Pollen, who passed away in March of 2011, served as a dressing room attendant with the Spitfires for 20 seasons, retiring in 2009.

PETER THOMSON OF SUN LIFE FINANCIAL ACADEMIC ACHEIVEMENT AWARD: Aaron Luchuk

MOST IMPROVED PLAYER: Jalen Chatfield

SOUTHLAND INSURANCE "ABOVE & BEYOND EXPECTATIONS" UNSUNG HERO AWARD: Liam Murray

JASON BENNETT AWARD FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE: Patrick Sanvido

Presented to the player who best represents the Spitfires at community based events. Named for Spitfire fan Jason Bennett, who was tragically killed by a drunk driver at just 10 years old.
