The Canadian Sport School Hockey League (CSSHL) is excited to announce the four winners of the Student-Athlete of the Month Award for March: Yuri Teo-Berube, Bentley Hanson, Lux Naka, & Tommy Ogee.

This award is aimed at recognizing the student-athletes within the CSSHL and acknowledges their hard work, dedication, commitment, leadership, academics and community impact.
We would like to congratulate these four student-athletes, who were all nominated by their programs, for their hard work in the month of March.
East Division – Yuri Teo-Berube, Ontario Hockey Academy
“Yuri is a quiet leader in the program. He gets the job done in the classroom and on the ice, and is a particular leader in the gym program. He has top academic marks and shows what hard work can do.”
West Female Division – Bentley Hanson, Northern Alberta Xtreme
“She is one of the players who sets the standards every time she works on the ice and in the gym. She has grown a lot this season. She was a bit quiet when she arrived but grew into a leader who speaks up amongst her peers. She has earned the respect of her teammates. Bentley made a huge impact on the ice.”
West Male U15 Division – Lux Naka, Okanagan Hockey Academy
“Lux has demonstrated outstanding performance during the final stretch of the season and throughout the playoffs, consistently elevating his game when it matters most. His dedication to both his athletic and academic responsibilities exemplifies what it means to be a true student-athlete.
Lux carries himself with professionalism on and off the ice, showing maturity, discipline, and respect in all team environments. He approaches each day with a strong work ethic, committing fully to training and continuously striving to improve. His coachability makes him a pleasure to work with, as he is always receptive to feedback and eager to learn.
In addition to his individual efforts, Lux is an excellent teammate who contributes positively to team culture. He supports those around him, leads by example, and plays an important role in fostering a cohesive and motivated group.
Lux Naka is highly deserving of this recognition for his commitment, character, and performance.”

He approaches his studies with discipline and focus, while also competing with integrity, work ethic, and a team-first mindset. Tommy’s leadership, accountability, and positive influence within our program embody what it means to be a true student-athlete, making him an excellent choice for this recognition.”
