Today we continue our review of the origins of the trophies you will see presented at the banquet March 3, with the origins of the Guy Wells Trophy. This description is taken from the 50th Anniversary History Book.
The Guy Wells Memorial Award
Guy Wells was a local businessman who operated a trophy business. His son Kevin played in the league in the late 60’s, and was the recipient of the President’s Award for the 1967-68 season. The President’s Award is given to the individual who helps in all aspects of making the league run smoothly – scoring, timing, refereeing, set-up and clean-up.
Mr. Wells loved life, and was a practical joker with many of Kevin’s friends when they would come to visit. When Mr. Wells died, his family wanted to donate a trophy in his memory to the league that his son Kevin had enjoyed so much as a player. The award is given annually to the male and female players in the league who best exemplify what the league stands for – sportsmanship, fair play, team play and leadership. It is an award of very special significance.
