J U N I O R     S U R V E I L L A N C E - February 15, 2007 Junior Awards If I’m not mistaken, there seems to be some kind of junior all star event every three days. League all stars. Prospects all stars. Canada versus Russia all stars. World junior all stars. Player of the week. Player of the game. Player of the first period. Player of the warm up. If you can’t beat em, then join em. With no further adieu we introduce the Hockey Spy.com junior awards. Winners will be announced during Memorial Cup weekend. You all remember that weekend. That’s the one that Dave Branch has turned into a boring cash grab for his league at the expense of the players and fans. The corporate sponsors fork over the money and the players get none of it. Hopefully these new awards will ease the players’ pain. THE GOLDEN HATCHET AWARD Will go to the major junior player who takes the most slashing penalties throughout the regular season. THE GILLETTE AWARD Will be given to the major junior player with the crappiest playoff beard. This will be a hotly contested award with hundreds of strong candidates involved. THE HOCKEY HOOKEY AWARD Will be awarded to the major junior player who skips the most classes during the regular season. Sick days will not be factored in. THE MOLSON AWARD Will be awarded to the major junior player who buys the most two-four cases of beer while being under-age. Falsified ID’s will be allowed. THE BONNIE AND CARL LINDROS AWARD Will be awarded to the first major junior player who averages more than 30 minutes of icetime per game, to have his agent complain to the team about his lack of icetime. THE SILVER THUMB AWARD Will be awarded to the major junior player who can send a 50 word text message on his cell phone in less than 3 seconds. Hundreds of contenders are known to exist. THE BILLY BILLET AWARD Will be awarded to the major junior player who sneaks out after curfew most often. Only those occasions when the player’s billet is not aware will count in the standings. THE BLUE JAY AWARD Will be awarded to the major junior player who spends the most hours wearing a baseball cap with the beak facing backwards. Sleeping time will count. THE QUICK DRAW MCGRAW AWARD Will be given to the major junior goon who starts a fight for no reason the quickest from the start of a game. A likely winning time will be around the 3 second mark. After all, you can really build up a temper in that length of time. Send your story to hockspy@hotmail.com and we will pass them on to our readers in a future installment of Junior Hockey Surveillance.
