WHL PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Four Broncos Memorial Trophy

The most prestigious individual award of the Western Hockey League has been named the Four Broncos Memorial Trophy in memory of the four members of the Swift Current Broncos who died in a tragic accident on December 30, 1986.

The four players, Trent Kresse, Scott Kruger, Chris Mantyka and Brent Ruff all died when the Swift Current bus crashed while enroute to a game in Regina.

"In order that we never forget this incident, we have named this trophy in memory of these four young men," stated Ed Chynoweth.

"Like hundreds of other players before them, and hundreds that will follow, WHL players spend countless hours riding the bus in pursuing their hockey aspirations. By naming the Most Valuable Player Trophy in honor of these four players, hopefully we will never forget the sacrifice given by these young men."

Up to 1993-94, this trophy was awarded to the Most Valuable Player in the WHL. As of 1994-95, the WHL Player of the Year receives this trophy.

WHL SCHOLASTIC PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Daryl K. (Doc) Seaman Trophy

Daryl K. (Doc) Seaman has been a pioneer in promoting higher education and hockey. For many years Doc Seaman has been a staunch supporter of the efforts of Hockey Canada and the Western Hockey League to ensure all players are able to combine education with hockey.

As well, he has been a great promoter of the City of Calgary, as evidenced by his efforts to bring the Atlanta Flames to Calgary to become the beloved Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League.

Due to Seaman's support for programs that promote the combining of education and hockey, and the Western Hockey League's education program in particular, the WHL chose to name this Scholastic Player of the Year Award in honour of Doc Seaman in 1996.

The player selected as the top student / athlete in the WHL will be presented the Daryl K. (Doc) Seaman Trophy.

WHL MOST SPORTSMANLIKE PLAYER
Brad Hornung Trophy

Tragedy struck twice in the 1986-87 season in the WHL. After the Broncos bus accident, the WHL was further grieved when Brad Hornung was paralyzed after an unfortunate accident in a game in Regina on March 1, 1987. In his two years with the Regina Pats, Brad Hornung combined talent, desire and an unmistakable sportsmanlike attitude. This award will honour other players who display the same attributes.

WHL TOP DEFENCEMAN
Bill Hunter Trophy

Bill Hunter is honoured for his role as a founder and builder of the League. Hunter served as Owner, General Manager and Coach of the Edmonton Oil Kings, while also serving as the first Chairman of the Board. Without a doubt, Bill Hunter was the driving force that kept the WHL in the forefront of Major Junior Hockey in Canada during his years as the "Godfather" of the Edmonton Oil Kings.

It goes without saying that Major Junior Hockey has never seen an individual as dedicated and enthusiastic as the man known as the "Fiery Red Leader", who along with his long time friend, the late Scotty Munro, were "the WHL" in its formative years.
