Apologies since the Nomination announcement was quite unclear ... Since about half of the nominees so far are hockey players, I'll offer that the contest if to find the Hockey-L Most Valuable Player. Next year, I'll call this the Hockey-L Most Valuable Participant in Hockey-L award, or something longer, if possible. Maybe someone else can run a contest for MVP hockey player. This contest is to find the best Hockey-L writer for this season. :-) > This e-mail is a call for nominees for the first ever > "Hockey-L Most Valuable Player" award. > > Executive Summary: > > 1.
