2025 CMHA AWARDS NIGHT

2024-25 SEASON AWARD WINNERS

Irving Kostyniuk Memorial Award - Official of the Year

Irv was a tireless workhorse where officiating was concerned even (even considering he did not have a child playing in CMHA and couldn't skate!!! He laid the foundation for many of the protocols and programs we use today in not only the lower mainland but BC Hockey. Irv attended our inaugural naming of the award in his name but unfortunately passed away soon after. There has been a scholarship set up by a donation from his family for lasting recognition of Irv's contribution to officiating.
