Cochranite Jake Dubé was named the 2016 recipient of the Stewy Stewart Memorial Award on Mar. 6.
The award is given out annually to the player in the Alberta Junior Hockey League’s (AJHL) South Division that best exemplifies character, dedication, integrity, perseverance, and sportsmanship.
The 19-year old who is in his first year with the Camrose Kodiaks has set career highs in goals (ten), assists (25), total points (35), games played (54), and event penalty minutes (59).

The defenceman has managed to bring his regular-season form into the playoffs, picking up 2 assists in three first-round games played against the seventh-seeded Olds Grizzlies.
Kodiaks took the regular-season series 5-1, outscoring Grizzlies 32-16, and swept them in the playoffs 3-0, outscoring them 17-5.
