Bees awards… yeah, I know

Tonight is the formal goodbye to the 2007-2008 campaign, as the Bees are hosting a season-ending party for season ticket holders.
One of the reasons for the shindig is to hand out awards. In all honesty, I don’t know why anybody on a team that finished 16-41-7 deserves any awards.
In that spirit, here are my Bees awards. Some such as Coach of the Year are impractical to hand out. To qualify, a player has to have been with the team for 25 games.Â
Most Outstanding Rookie
Josh Bonar
Most Outstanding Defenseman
Josh Garbutt
Most Outstanding Goalie
David Lemanowicz
Most Valuable Player
Rob Voltera
- I’ll post more in detail about each award as the offseason drags on.

“In all honesty, I don’t know why anybody on a team that finished 16-41-7 deserves any awards.”
Mr. Sandlow, I had respect for you the entire season for the most part, however this quote is totally uncalled for, and my respect for you has tanked. Who are you to judge why anybody on this team deserves any awards? Are you an athlete that can play at this level in a sport of your liking. The answer just by looking at you is most likely NO, so who are you to judge. These young men had a dismal season they don’t need beat writers like you to kick them while their down. How disrespectful of you. Do you have no shame? Believe it or not some of the players on this team are very skillful, but had the unfortunate timing to congregate on a team with no chemistry. A lot of people blame the players, I myself blame the coaching staff and team leadership. You have your own opinions, however, don’t ever say, no one deserves any type of award just because the team had a losing season. How degrading of you. I thought better of you…..
