NEWS: Clan award winners unmasked at GCA’s
It was a night for fun and awards as Aspray Glasgow West sponsored Glasgow Clan marked the end of the season with the annual GCA’s (Glasgow Clan Awards).
Just over 300 people were in attendance on the banks of the River Clyde at Glasgow’s Crowne Plaza Hotel on Wednesday.
As ever, game night announcer Kevin McCoskrie and Commercial Director Gerry McLaughlin hosted the evening with some funny news headlines and an ice-breaker game, “Co-dy or No-dy”, based on the career of defenceman Cody Sol.
For there, the awards were given out as Davie Sloan received the club’s “Unsung Hero Off the Ice” accolade, with captain Dyson Stevenson given the On-Ice version.
From there, the night belonged to top scoring forward Gary Haden, who picked up three awards – Forward of the Season, the OSC Player of the Season, as voted for by members of the Official Supporters Club and the Player’s Player of the Season, picked his team-mates.
Cody Sol was named as the Defenceman of the Season, while recently re-signed forward Robert Lachowicz capped his first season with the Coach’s Player of the Season accolade.
Mike Pelech didn’t leave empty handed when he was awarded the Clan Most Valuable Player award before the evening went into party mode.
The Clan would like to thank everyone who came out for a very successful evening as well as the players, coaches, off-ice staff, office and arena staff, media, volunteers as well as the OSC and Purple Army for being part of a great night.
The club would also like to thank the staff at the Crowne Plaza Hotel for their help and assistance in getting everything set up and DJ Smee Smith for his work.
Clan would also like to extend a huge thanks to the following businesses for sponsoring the awards too:
