Annual Awards

The HQ Community Awards aim to celebrate those in our community that ‘go above and beyond’, without whom we wouldn’t be able to take the field each week. Nominations for these awards will be submitted by Associations, and voted on by the community. Winners are decided by the community votes and the HQ Awards panel.

The HQ Achievement Awards celebrate those in hockey who had outstanding success in their field. These awards are voted on and decided by the relevant committees.
