The Beth Champie Memorial Award
Beth Champie and Irene Schwartzbaur were great friends, and there
was nothing they enjoyed more than attending Phoenix Coyotes games
and other special events. If that doesn't seem all that remarkable,
consider they live in Payson!
Toward the end of the 2006-07 season, Irene, the Booster Club and the Phoenix Coyotes lost a great friend when Beth Champie passed away in her sleep after watching the Coyotes play on TV.
In honor of the dedication to the team shown by Beth and Irene on a regular basis, the Phoenix Coyotes Booster Club will award the Beth Champie Memorial Trophy to the player who demonstrates significant dedication to the fans each year.
The definition of Dedicated is -
The act of binding yourself (intellectually or emotionally) to a course of action; "his long commitment to public service"
When we talk about dedication to the fans, it may mean different things to different people. Here are some examples of actions by the players that could demonstrate dedication to the fans -
- Number of appearances he made during the season / off-season
- His overall attitude during the appearances
- Your experience with the player at a Backstage Pass (STH) or Meet & Greet
- His community involvement
This award isn't the same as a fan favorite award. We really hope to reward someone who makes an effort to connect with the fans and appreciate what we do for them. So don't just pick your favorite, who might not be the best with the public. Think about your experiences and vote for the player who made a real effort.
The player is selected from the current Coyotes roster. Each current Booster Club member is eligible to cast one vote.
The award will be presented on ice during the end of the year awards ceremony.
