    • Awarded to Dave Smith
      Sports Personality of the Year The City of Peterborough Jun 2014 On June 10th I was presented with the civic award for Sports Personality of the Year for organizing the Scotiabank CBC Hockey Day in Canada event in Peterborough. Because of the NHL lock out Peterborough was chosen as the host city 28 days before the actual broadcast. Most communities had 40 weeks to plan previous Hockey Day in Canada events, we pulled it all together in 4 weeks.

Many say Mr. Smith played the biggest role in making the event a success. He also made headlines for his role in merging the Peterborough Minor Hockey Asscoation (PMHA) and the Peterborough Community Church Hockey League Show less
