Every spring, we give out five team awards. What makes these awards so special is that they are voted on by the players in the program. The awards we give out are: Executive Board Member of the Year, Most Improved Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year, the Nick Kruml Player of the Year as the Billy Foertsch Warhawk Award.
