Alumni – Lindores gets Scholarship
Eagles forward Lindores lands scholarship to Northern Michigan
Thursday, April 19, 2012 – Submitted by BCHL Media
Surrey Eagles forward Robert Lindores has secured a scholarship to Northern Michigan University for the coming season. Lindores had by far his most productive BCHL campaign this season scoring 26 goals and 35 assists for 61 points. His previous career high was nine goals and 12 assists the season prior.
The 6-foot-1, 198-pound native of Port Alberni played four full seasons in the BCHL and suited up for 207 games. He played his first two seasons for his hometown Alberni Valley Bulldogs before coming to Surrey in 2010.
Lindores becomes the third current BCHLer to commit to Northern Michigan along with Cohen Adair of Powell River and Darren Nowick of Vernon. The Wildcats compete in the NCAA’s Central Collegiate Hockey Association.

GOING ABOVE & BEYOND
This award has never been given out before, but if anyone knows Al, it describes him well – “Going above and beyond”. It is not just hockey phone calls at 2:00 am and going to meetings. In the past 4 years Al has lead the association from a $30,000. deficit to having money in the bank. Al handles many sensitive situations with individual players and he has fought hard for years to keep female hockey competitive & fair. If you ask him to help you with anything, he is dependable and supportive. He truly goes ‘above and beyond’ . Thanks Al!

VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR
Meranda Vallee – AVMHA Treasurer
Meranda spends many long hours in the AVMHA office dealing with all the financial affairs of our association. Add that to a full-time job, she is also an accounting student. She often misses watching her own children playing hockey. Meranda does an excellent job at administering the financial records all year round and we can’t thank her enough for doing it.
Honorable Mention – Volunteers - Gary Check & Lynn Nelson
Thank you Gary for the time you spent volunteering to sell & Lynn to organize the AVMHA Car Raffle. Without their work the raffle would not be as successful as it was.
