Athletics: Athletic Banquet rewards athletes

Updated: Aug 14, 2019

On June 11, Halifax Grammar School honoured top athletes for their performance during the school year. Tracy Stuart, Grammar parent and former Olympic rower, was the guest speaker for the night and senior students James McCrea and Noelle Tsimiklis were emcees.


The Awards Banquet was held in Grammar’s multipurpose room, and celebrated the overall accomplishments of the athletics program. Some major awards for the night included the Outstanding Service Award, Good Sport Award, O’Flaherty Scholar - Athlete Award, Outstanding Sportsmanship Award, Rookie of Year, Middle School Athletes of the Year and Senior Athletes of the Year.


Twelfth graders Noelle Tsimiklis and Ryan Munro received the Nova Scotia School Athletic Federation (NSSAF) Outstanding Service Award. Coach Kelvin McEwen was also awarded the NSSAF Outstanding Service Award for demonstrating a commitment to the true values of educational athletics.


Middle schoolers Amelie Springer and Ryan Malloy received the NSSAF Good Sport Award for demonstrating commitment to fair play, ethical behaviour, integrity, as well as concern and respect for others.


Each year two outstanding students from middle and senior school are selected for the NSSAF O’Flaherty Scholar – Athlete Award. The award is named after Executive Director Mr. Ron O’Flaherty who served the Grammar Foundation for 29 years and helped shape Grammar into the successful school it is today. This year, middle schoolers Gabe Davignon and Jessica Lee, along with seniors Aj Kapilan and Maura Whitman received the award for demonstrating both athletic and academic achievement (a minimum grade average of 85% is required).


The Outstanding Sportsmanship award went to middle schoolers Kwame Franklin and Jessica Lee and seniors James McCrea and Noelle Tsimiklis.


The Rookie of the Year went to middle schoolers Henry McKegney and Vivian Johnson. Athletes from the senior school, David Waller and Lydia Dunn, were also honoured with the award.


The Middle School Athletes of the Year awards were bestowed upon Female Athlete of the Year, Britt Drysdale and Male Athlete of the Year, Kyle Munro. The Senior School Athletes of the Year were Ethan Marshall-Harris and Elizabeth Langley.


Some honourable mentions from joint teams with Ambrae Academy include Haley Whitman on the field hockey team who was awarded MVP of the year and Krissa Mou on the Senior Volleyball team who received the Most Improved Player Award.
