The New Brunswick Interscholastic Athletic Association held its 11th Annual Sportsmanship Awards Banquet on Tuesday, May 10th, 2016 at St. Thomas University in Rigby Hall in Fredericton.
Twenty two student athletes (listed below) from the NBIAA’s four conferences received the Raymond Légère Sportsmanship Awards. These students have shown outstanding qualities of sportsmanship throughout the school year while participating in NBIAA sports.
The top two, one male and one female, in each school category, will receive the William S. Ritchie Sportsmanship Award.
This award goes to the Most Sportsmanlike Coach of the Year. This award is named after Emery Johnson, the former athletic director of Dalhousie Regional High School and the NBIAA Executive Committee, who passed away in November 2003.
The Emery Johnson Memorial Award was presented to Michael Swift of Sussex Regional High School at the Sportsmanship Banquet by the NBIAA Vice-President, Stacey Boudreau.
The New Brunswick Interscholastic Athletic Association introduced an annual School Sportsmanship of the Year Awards in 2014. This award aims to recognize a school, whose athletes, coaches and fans promote what sportsmanship is all about in every aspect of high school athletics.
