✨The Heart & Hustle Award ✨
At this year’s free hockey camp in Drayton Valley, we introduced something incredibly special, the Heart & Hustle Award, given in honour of a man who embodied exactly that: Tim Alberts.
Tim wasn’t just a hockey guy. He was a heart and soul kind of person, the kind of father, grandfather, husband, brother, son, and friend who showed up for people with everything he had. He lived with grit, gave with love, and left a mark on every life he touched.
This award isn’t about the flashiest goals or the fastest skater. It’s about playing with heart, working with hustle, and carrying yourself with the same passion and spirit Tim brought into every room he walked into.
For our winners, receiving this award is more than recognition — it’s an honour, a legacy, and a reminder that the game (and life) are bigger than just the score.
Congratulations to this year’s recipients — may you continue to play and live the way Tim did: with heart, hustle, and purpose.
💥MVP💥
This isn’t just about being the “best player on the ice.”
It’s about showing up with relentless effort, an unshakable attitude, and the mindset to win every battle—on and off the ice.
At camp, one player from each group was recognized with a hockey stick carrying this message, gifted by Mason Geertsen. Only six kids earned this honour—our version of MVP.
Not because of their skill alone, but because of who they are as teammates, leaders, and people. 🏒💙
These young athletes carry more than a stick home… they carry a legacy of heart, hustle, and character that will follow them far beyond the rink.
