MUN Varsity Hockey Orin Carver Award
This award was initiated in October 2015 by the 1965 MUN varsity hockey teams on the occasion of the 50th anniversary winning of the Boyle Trophy and the Memorial Cup, and will be further supported by other teammates on Memorial University’s varsity hockey teams of the 1960’s – 1980’s. This award is a testament to the collaborative spirit of our varsity athletic hockey alumni, and named in memory and honour of the much-respected and beloved coach, Orin Carver, who coached three Memorial University Boyle Trophy Championship Teams. Valued at a portion of the income on the endowment, it will be awarded annually to one or more undergraduate varsity student-athletes who compete for Memorial University of Newfoundland. The selected athlete will have demonstrated commitment to their academics and shown an unwavering dedication to their sport and teammates.

In the event that there is more than one suitable candidate, academic achievement may be used as a determining factor. This award will be granted by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the recommendation of the Director, Division of Varsity Athletics.
