The Canadian Sport School Hockey League (CSSHL) is excited to announce the four winners of the Student-Athlete of the Month Award for September: Spencer Garzon, Anzeka Cabelova, Ryker Klassen and Yuki Kido.
For the 2024/25 season the CSSHL is proud to introduce the Student-Athlete of the Month Award for the four different CSSHL divisions/age brackets: Eastern, West Female, West U18 MAle (U18 Prep, U17 Prep, U17) and West U15 Male (U15 Prep and U15) .
This award is aimed at recognizing the student-athletes within the CSSHL and acknowledges their hard work, dedication, commitment, leadership, academics and community impact.
We would like to congratulate these four student-athletes, who were all nominated by their programs, for their hard work in the month of September.
East Division – Spencer Garzon, Fort Erie International Academy U17:
“Spencer was recently named Team Captain and after the first month he’s in the top three academically. He’s a leader on and off the ice and has helped the new players adjust to dorms and day to day demands of being a student athlete at Fort Erie”
West Female Division – Anezka Cabelova, RHA Kelowna Female U18 Prep:
“Anezka joined RINK last year and completed the year with a 91% grade average over five subjects. Anezka is studying to graduate both in BC as well as Czech Republic and even with the heavy hockey game schedule, she remains current in her schoolwork. Anezka has also been a volunteer and helped minor hockey teams on the ice. She is committed and outstanding in all she does.”
West Male U18 Division – Ryker Klassen, South Alberta Hockey Academy U17 Prep:
“Ryker currently has a 90% in Math 20-1, 85% in English 20-1 and 87% in Social 20-1. He has led our team through his consistent work ethic in the classroom and on the ice. Ryker goes out of his way to help out the grade 10 math students on his team when they are stuck on concepts. His assignments are always done on time and to the best of his ability. Ryker’s teachers have commented on his respectfulness in the classroom and his respect, inclusion and interaction with all students in the school environment.”
West Male U15 Division – Yuki Kido, Pilot Mound Hockey Academy U15 Prep:
“Yuki has excelled in arriving in a new country and adapting to the new culture in Canada. Yuki has demonstrated strong goaltending on the ice, in the classroom, and in off-ice workouts. Yuki goes above and beyond in his first month at PMHA for his teammates. He is self-confident and self-disciplined which has been critical in setting good habits for the U15 Prep program that we would like to maintain over time. Yuki accepts feedback from staff well, and we look forward to watching him grow this season.”
