Humber’s extramural hockey athletes were honoured at the annual banquet and dinner, this year held at Westwood Arena. 

The men’s and women’s hockey teams posted successful seasons, regardless of playing under a number of restrictions stemming from the pandemic.  The teams were each selected from open tryouts in the fall, where more than 80 students were vying for a spot on the respective teams.  Both rosters remained fluid throughout the season with more than 45 different players moving in and out of each game or tournament lineup. 

In tournament play, the Hawks were eliminated in the semi-finals of their home tournament, but finished second at the La Cite event and won the Georgian College Super Cup.  Humber’s goalies posted 4 shutouts in tournament play.  In the lone skills competition held this year, Nathan Grosso was named as the fastest skater and Daniel Ruocco won the accuracy shooting contest.
