The Roy Pejcinovski Memorial Goaltending Character Award was developed to recognize and honour a Goaltender who demonstrates extraordinary community service. The Awards aim is to highlight positive role models and examples of goaltenders who demonstrate positive character in sports. Each year, the GTHL honours one outstanding youth athlete who has demonstrated extraordinary service in the community while modeling the basic traits of good character: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship to represent the GTHL.
Roy Pejcinovski was a goaltender with the U15 ‘AAA’ Don Mills Flyers team. His life was taken far too early. Roy was much more than just a goalie. He was a caring compassionate teammate. He was respected and admired by opponents and loved by teammates. Roy had a passion for people and the community. He was a leader among leaders.
