The Tanner Catalano Foundation, in partnership with the Arizona High School Hockey Association, is pleased to announce the Tanner Catalano/AHSHA award. These Senior Varsity players exhibit the qualities of hard work, perseverance, intensity, and humility.

The recipients of this award have proven to be leaders for their teams both on and off the ice, in the community, and exemplify good moral character, all while maintaining a GPA of 3.00 or higher.

This prestigious award has been given to the top Senior players who were nominated by their High School Hockey Head Coach. Nominees were asked to complete the application process by submitting an autobiography focused on how hockey has shaped their life and made them a leader, their current High School Transcripts, and 3 letters of recommendation. A committee made up of members from the Tanner Catalano Foundation and Arizona High School Hockey Association reviewed over 20 applications and narrowed it down to an elite few.

Each recipient of this award receives a $2,500 scholarship check and a plaque.
