The Sask West Hockey League has recently announced that a new League award will be given
out starting at the end of the 2023 season and running for 10 years. The award will be given to
the hardest working LOCAL player in the SWHL.
The award will be in memory of Bill Cey from Wilkie, who passed away in April of 2022 at the age of
93. Bill was a long time supporter of hockey in Wilkie, first as a player, manager, coach, team president, and
apresident of the league when it was known as the Wild Goose Hockey League. Bill was always
particularly fond of the hard working local players that made for successful senior teams.
The award in Bills memory will be known as the SWHLs Hardest Working Local Player. Each season
every team in the league will nominate (1) player with a short explanation as to why that player deserves
this award. A winner will be chosen from the nominees annually. Thank you, Joe Cey.
