Awards
Audrey Truth Leadership Award
Audrey Truth was President of the Richmond Ravens, then called Richmond Girls Ice Hockey Association (RGIH), from 1998-2002. In the early years, the board was very small, and Audrey wore many hats. This mother of five young kids was instrumental in driving female hockey in Richmond and across the Lower Mainland. All of us owe a lot to Audrey for creating the Richmond Ravens that we enjoy today, including launching the Ice Classic Tournament. She was the longest-serving Ravens board member until retiring in 2020, after 25 years of service.
To honour Audrey and her contributions, the Audrey Truth Leadership Award is given annually to a Ravens player who demonstrates exceptional leadership and involvement within the association. The award is by nomination only.
