Sport Nova Scotia announces RICOH Sport Award Finalists

HALIFAX, NS (May 31, 2011) – National greats, provincial record-smashers and homegrown international champions were highlighted today, as Sport Nova Scotia announced the names of the finalists for the 15th annual Ricoh Sport Awards.

“We have a terrific group of finalists this year,” said Jamie Ferguson, CEO of Sport Nova Scotia. “Among them, we have a fifteen-year-old crowd thriller from the Canada Games, the best curlers on the planet, and a wheelchair basketball dynamo from Donkin, Cape Breton. There are stories of Olympic hopefuls and Olympic veterans, a Bridgewater coach who has two athletes qualifying for Worlds in completely different disciplines, and a national champion who is a coaches dream.”

The Ricoh Sport Awards recognize the achievements of Nova Scotia’s greatest athletes, teams, coaches, officials, and volunteers in amateur sport over the past year.

“Each of these nominees has come through a rigorous selection process and they represent the best in their respective categories, not only locally but regionally, nationally and internationally,” says Ferguson. “They are the types of people who inspire others to get involved in sport, which helps build our sport system and spread the benefits of sport participation across the province.  Nova Scotians can be very proud of this group.”

Over 180 nominations were submitted by Provincial Sport Organizations. Finalists were selected based on their best achievement of the season, in addition to their overall performance throughout the year.

The finalists were announced in seven of the eleven categories. They are:
