As the award posts wind down, one of the few we have left is the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy. The Bill Masterton is "awarded to the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey". In LG, this award is ideally meant for someone that has either been on LG for a long time, and is generally a good influence/has a good impact in the community, or someone that had to deal with a dumpster fire all season and didn't complain/quit, or even embraced it and tried to improve the situation around them. Examples of something like this would be @PieR Talent taking over for @BROSKI_002 last season on Philadelphia and keeping the team going through shambles (Pier went on to be the S12 Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy winner). There's also the possibility that someone played throughout the season with unfortunate circumstances and could be recognized for this award as well. Anything along the lines of these examples or these descriptions are welcome suggestions/nominations for the Bill Masterton. If you have someone in mind, use this thread to suggest them (or yourself), and make a case for them/you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wondering when awards will be presented? Saturday, May 23rd at 7pm, an award show will be hosted as a special League Lounge episode on https://www.twitch.tv/mikeymcb! Tune in this Saturday to see all award winners be unveiled as we wrap up Season 13.
The only person that should be considered for this award this season is @radicalapex 12 seasons managing 1 team (4 years) 0 cheating scandals 0 drama 0 people can say a bad word about the guy He also developed the DuthieBot that basically everyone in the NHL community uses in their discords. He contributed to multiple award committees over the years. He is the definition of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey in the LG community and as he steps away from Ownership after 4 years, this award should go to him without question.
