This honor will be awarded to one senior CPIHL hockey player, nominated, in writing by his coach or other club official, and selected by the CPIHL Award Committee. Three finalists will be chosen and recognized, with the sole winner receiving a $500 scholarship from the Justin Yingling Memorial Fund to be presented at Hersheypark Arena on CPIHL Championship Day.
