The Medals.

Most Dedicated

This player spends their weekends on the driveway practicing slapshots. They come to practice early and stay late. And most importantly, their team always comes first.

Most Sportsmanlike

This player has an all-around great attitude, both on and off the ice. They don't get mad over a bad play or bad call. They cheer on their teammates through thick and thin and the team wouldn't be the same without them.

Most Improved

This player's pushed beyond their limits. They're coachable and have sharpened their skills or boosted their attitude. They've made leaps and bounds from their first day of practice to the last game of the season.

Achievement Helmet Stickers.

Esso™ Achievement Helmet Stickers are a great way to celebrate the efforts players show on and off the ice during their hockey season. They're awarded to players at the coaches' discretion after each game and are meant to be worn proudly on players' helmets throughout the season.

For younger players, stickers could be awarded for trying a new position or demonstrating a new skill. Older players could earn stickers for a great play or showing hard hustle.

Players, parents, and organizations can share their sticker filled helmets on social media with hashtag #essomedals to share players' achievements.

Certificates of Achievement.

Each team will get a set of 18 Autographed Certificates of Participation.

Fuel Discount Cards to say thanks.

The Esso™ Medals of Achievement program is also about celebrating the many parents and volunteers that make every season possible. The people who organize carpools for players, fundraise for the team, and cheer loudly every chance they get.

Every kit includes 20 Fuel Discount Cards worth $5 each in free gas to hand out to parents and volunteers. Each Fuel Discount Card is valid for 5 cents off per litre of fuel up to a maximum of 100 litres.
