CONGRATULATIONS GORD!

Congratulations to Gord Henderson, 2022 Winner of the Al Clark Memorial Award!

Each year, the association recognizes outstanding volunteers in our community. On behalf of Ajax Pickering Ringette and the Clark family, we are honoured to dedicate this year’s Al Clark Memorial Award to Gord Henderson.

Gord has held many positions on both the APRA and Central Region boards including Player Development, GLRL Rep, CORL Rep, Ajax Vice President and is currently the APRA Coaching Coordinator. Gord has also spent his entire ringette career coaching on a variety of team benches, from House League to U16AA to AAA. He is a role model and mentor to many in the region, a tremendous ambassador for APRA, and someone who consistently goes above and beyond for the association and our members. As one of our most tenured and highly respected coaches, the association consistently receives outstanding feedback from our players and families. One of our members couldn't have said it any better... 

"To know Gord even a little bit it quickly becomes apparent the passion he has for the game of ringette, and, for the lasting and positive relationships he develops with every player that he’s had the privilege of coaching. Gord is in their corner and is their #1 champion, wants all players to succeed and achieve their potential, and most importantly, have fun along the way."

Gord meets all the criteria for the award. He dedicates countless hours to the association as a coach and board member, demonstrates an extreme passion for our sport, values fair play and sportsmanship, and motivates players through coaching. Without Gord, our ringette community would not be as strong as it is today! Thank you Gord for all that you do!
