First Annual Wolfie Award Nominations

Cam Charron - Sports Editor

The WolfPack Athletic Awards Banquet is on April 8th, but The Omega will not be covering the event. Instead, we are introducing the first annual Wolfie Awards, as determined by your loyal Omega sports team.

Our nomination team scoured stats, games, and our own anecdotal evidence to put together a list of nominees. Our rule was a maximum of one nominee per team, but the hockey team was ineligible to produce rookies onto the ‘Rookie of the Year’ ballot because it’s a new team and most players are in their first year of eligibility. The nomination period is from April 2009 to April 2010, accounting for everything that happened in between.
