Rory Kelly, one of the star forwards with the Capreol Hawks Midget ‘A’ team, received the prestigious Steve Telenko Memorial Award from local hockey enthusiast, Roland McKinnon.

The Steve Telenko Memorial Award is given to the Capreol midget player who best displays sportsmanship and ability during the Annual Capreol Midget Tournament.

According to coach, Richie Mayotte, “Rory is most deserving of this award. He always gives 100% game in and game out.”

For Rory Kelly, who is currently attending Grade 12 at St. Charles College, this may well be the final year of playing organized hockey. The award along with setting up the winning goal in the championship game to capture the gold medal with a 3 to 2 victory over Sudbury’s Cortina Wolves, were the highlights of his long career in the Capreol Minor Hockey Program.
