Urbana High School | Hawks | COED

Each year since 2003, a single senior hockey player from each participating high school is selected by his or her coach to be honored by teammates and celebrated by the school and the community for outstanding individual performance on and off the ice. Andrew Landry works as a leader with the players and when necessary, offers specific advice to his teammates. Although sometimes quiet, Andrew’s attitude and effort could easily be instilled in others due to his work ethic and teaching skills. He has exceptional hockey skills and a great defensive forward, sacrificing his personal glory, statistics, and accolades for the betterment of the team. Team leadership characteristics since his freshman year, Andrew has shown leadership in school, on the ice, in the locker room, and outside the rink. On his own time, Andrew will go out of his way to help tutor and mentor other hockey players and classmates while still maintaining a weighted GPA of 4.52 and a member of the IB Program. Also during his free time Andrew spends time volunteering for local and national foundations and can be found working with young hockey players at the Learn to Play Ice Hockey camps. He also, along with another senior player raised more than $3,000 for team helmets and his IB Senior Project. 10% of the money raised went to the USA Warriors Sled Hockey program. Competitors respect him and his team honors him. Although quiet-spoken, Andrew is very serious when it comes to competition, discipline, and respect. He has mentored many players on the JV team as well and regularly comes to the JV games in support. Andrew is an outstanding student on and off the ice. His positive character traits and determination, strong work ethic and leadership style, makes Andrew a wonderful nominee for this distinguished award. I couldn’t think of someone else better that not only represents the Hobey Baker Award, but also the Urbana Hawks.

Getting this award is an honor to receive and an honor that any coach should be proud to give. It represents Character, Commitment, Teamwork, Persistence, Selflessness, Academic Excellence and Sportsmanship and a “Team before meâ€_x009d_ attitude. I am honored to present Andrew Landry with this years Hobey Baker Award.
