For 41 years, Glen (Moose) Scott has been helping to grow the game of lacrosse in Prince George. His grassroots contributions have earned him recognition from Sport BC.
Scott, along with seven other P.G. residents, has been selected to receive a Community Sport Hero Award from the provincial organization. The awards will be presented by acting mayor Shari Green during a Feb. 8 ceremony at the Coast Inn of the North.
Other individuals who will be handed Sport Hero hardware that night are Aline Strasdin (judo), Wade Loukes (Northern B.C. Winter Games), Sue MacDonald (Action Schools! BC), Nancy Harris (wheelchair basketball), Dee Neukomm (Special Olympics), K-Lynn Hogh (softball) and Lucia Fendelet (gymnastics). All had their names put forward by their peers.
"To be nominated for the Community Sport Hero Award has completely flabbergasted me," Scott said. "It has completely taken me by surprise.
"The awards and the accolades you get basically are always from within your own city and your own organization and you don't do it because you want to have rewards heaped upon you. It's the love of the game of lacrosse."
