Bloomington | Bloomington Blades | BOYS

Christopher “Mooch” Hamric, is a fine example of the all-around leader our Bloomington Blades Team has been fortunate to have this year and the past 4 years overall. Christopher has been a team elected Captain this season, and has led our team on and off the ice with his personality, ability, athleticism, and intelligence.  He has managed his classwork, local community service activities, his club and leadership commitments, and dealt with some very challenging personal moments this year. Christopher is one of the most coachable players I have been fortunate to listen, but not afraid to suggest either.  He motivates his team with his passion, subtle (but highly effective) communication, self-sacrifice and his example on the ice.  When I look at the team as a whole “Mooch” stands tall above the rest when it comes to his knowledge, dedication, and passion for the game of ice hockey.  He is wholly dedicated to fair play, player respect for each other on and off the ice, and the game it itself. I cannot think of any other player within our organization that truly deserves this award. Mooch is without question the heart and soul of our organization, and without him and his overall ability, our season would not have been nearly as successful.
