Terry Trafford Memorial "Golden Stick" Award


Since 2003, the Carnevale Hockey Group has awarded the "Golden Stick" Award to its Junior League's top goal scorer every summer.

In 2014, the "Golden Stick" Award was renamed in honour of Terry Trafford, who died in March of that year at the age of 20.
​Terry played in the CHG Junior League for two summers, and lead the league in points during the summer of 2012.
