The President Award was established in 2001 to honor people who are currently in high school hockey in Indiana. It’s given by the ISHSHA president to those longtime volunteers who donate their time and energy to help advance the sport. The ISHSHA and the State Invitational Tournament are only in existence because of the countless hours put in by a handful of dedicated people from the across the state, both behind-the-scenes work and front and center activities. The President’s Award will be presented during the State Invitational Tournament. Past award recipients include the following.
