Tameka Abel started playing hockey with our club in U9's and played with our club for 3 years. Tameka was a fun loving vivacious young girl who loved her hockey and training. She wasn't always prepared, sometimes minus a shoe, sock, mouth guard and even her stick but was always willing to play her little heart out in whatever position she was asked to play. Tameka was taken from her family and hockey family at a very young age of 11 years old suffering from Leukemia. From this the Tameka Abel Memorial Award was initiated in 2009.
This award is usually given to an U11 or U13 player who is a quiet achiever, who shoes commitment and effort at training and games, displays good behaviour towards the coach, teammates and umpires, willingness to listen and learn.
