For the first time, Connecticut High School Hockey will be presenting an award to one senior from each team in the state. These recipients are identified as players who have a great locker room presence, exhibit heart and an ever-present commitment to their respective programs. Each week on "The Road To The Whale" podcast, we will release a new group of players. Below are the players who've been honored so far.
We have teamed up with Central Connecticut State University's ACHA program to bring this award to you.
