The Ontario Hockey League has announced that overage captain Mark Woolley of the Owen Sound Attack has won the Mickey Renaud Captain’s Trophy.
In a league release, the OHL says the award was chosen by a "media selection committee as the OHL team captain that best exemplifies leadership on and off the ice, with a passion and dedication to the game of hockey and community that Mickey demonstrated." Woolley also received the Dan Snyder Memorial Trophy as OHL Humanitarian of the Year, with his ongoing humanitarian work for kids with diabetes through his Woolley's Warriors campaign. Woolley, who himself was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes as a teen, has raised over $60,000 for Diabetes Canada during his OHL career.
