The Jasper Glaciers six-a-side football team wound down an impressive season with a banquet at Marmot Lodge Nov. 27.
The team competes in the Alberta 6-Man Football League, and boasts players from both Jasper Junior/Senior High School and 脡cole Desrochers. This season the team won all six of its regular season games, many in dominating fashion, before going on to a disappointing loss to the Breton Cougars in the first round of the playoffs.
The banquet was an opportunity to celebrate the season and recognize the players who made it possible.
Recognition started with Brad Anselmo, who took home the rookie of the year award. The offensive superstar also snagged recognition for outstanding offensive player along with Dylan Mooney.
Outstanding defensive player awards were handed out to Jack Hilworth and Morgan Poirer. Emerson Ostrander won the most improved player award.
Finally, Martin Kreiner accepted the Glaciers鈥� award of excellence for sportsmanship, leadership and quality.
Along with the awards, players were also presented their west division championship banner.
鈥淭he Glaciers鈥� perfect 6-0 record against west division teams is quite remarkable when you consider we were competing against larger schools that have a longer tradition of playing football,鈥� said the team鈥檚 coach, Fred Kreiner, when reflecting on the banquet a few days later.
