Congratulations to our President Sean on this prestigious award.

🏅 MINOR COUNCIL AWARD OF MERIT 🏅

Hockey Nova Scotia is pleased to announce that Sean Edwards is the 2026 recipient of our Hockey Nova Scotia Minor Council Award of Merit. The award, considered one of the most prestigious that a person in minor hockey can receive, is presented annually to an individual who has made a significant contribution to minor hockey in Nova Scotia.

Sean has coached at the U9 level for the past few seasons, where he has built a reputation for his outstanding attitude with players and his ability to teach and develop the game.

Over the past hockey campaign, he worked to bring along players at every skill level, helping newer skaters make significant strides while continuing to challenge and develop the team's strongest players. His approach combines a genuine knowledge of the game with the kind of encouragement and personal attention that young players respond to.

Finally we have our U18 Champions, the Yarmouth Mariners.

This was Yarmouth’s 5th straight trip to the U18 final and they always came up just short in the previous four. It was really great to see these guys get the job done.

They defeated an extremely resilient South Shore team in the final. South Shore played 3 really tough close games in 3 nights this weekend and they battled hard right to the end.

Congratulations to Yarmouth and South Shore on a great season.

It was an all Western Valley affair in the U15 finals.
