Cobra Pride Awards

Cobra Pride Awards are presented annually to one player from each team in the West Colchester Minor Hockey Association.  These awards are presented to players that demonstrate great effort and heart, are positive and respectful of teammates, coaches, and officials (Sportsmanship), and exhibit ‘PRIDE’: Personal Responsibility In Daily Endeavours.

Josh Fletcher Memorial Award

Josh Fletcher was a young player with the Debert Cobras Peewee C team at the time of his tragic death.  His #6 jersey was retired from WCMHA after his passing and no Cobra Jerseys have been printed with this number since.  This award is presented to the Most Dedicated U13 player from the West Colchester Cobras. This player has demonstrated enthusiasm and determination to excel their game and team throughout the year. 

Trevor Ferguson Memorial Award

Trevor Ferguson was a young man who played most of his minor hockey career in West Colchester as a goalie.  When he was not on the ice, he was often seen with his friends at the rink.  Trevor lost his life in a car accident in the summer of 2006.  This annual Cobras award was set up in Trevor’s memory for a senior goalie who shows dedication to the sport, their team and their friends.
