2024 Q2 Minor Hockey

Danny Cammack Memorial

Award Recipient:

Brayden Meheriuk

Published June 27, 2024

This award was created in memory of Danny Cammack.

Danny Cammack had many of the passions of a typical 13-year-old, but none was greater than hockey.

What Danny lacked in size, he more than made up for with smooth powerful strides, soft hands and an uncanny puck sense.

As much as he loved the game, he loved the camaraderie that came with being a member of a hockey team. Perhaps this is why he was such a good team player. Dan loved to win but it was not the “Be all, end all”. He always kept things in perspective. Doing his best and having fun on the ice was what Danny was all about!

Since 2004, this Tucker Hockey Award has been issued quarterly each year to worthy program participants.

Coach Rex selects Brayden Meheriuk as the 2024 Q2 Minor Hockey – Danny Cammack Memorial Award Recipient.

Congratulations Brayden!
