The contest invited the community to recognize the hidden heroes that contribute countless hours and efforts -- both inside and outside the rink, by nominating them to win weekly prizes and a chance to win a grand prize of $20,000 for their Hockey club. These included the coaches that go in early to the office so they can be there for practice after school or the parent who carpools the teams and works remotely form the stands.

Scott Coates, a coach on the Winnipeg Warriors Hockey Club, was nominated by Paul Blashko and chosen by a combination of online voting and Cisco's jury members. "Throughout the program we recognized 40 weekly winners who had amazing stories. Scott's story, however, captured the essence of dedication to Canada's favourite sport," said Mark Collins, vice president, marketing, Cisco Canada. "In addition to a busy full-time job working with people with disabilities and helping them re-enter the workforce, Scott dedicates every night to guiding kids to not only be better hockey players, but to believe in themselves. Congratulations to Scott and the Warriors! We hope this win will help provide meaningful funds to support ongoing success and nurture the spirit of hockey."
