Awards ceremony to be held March 2
The Greater Victoria Sports Awards re-boot, for achievement in 2022, will be headlined by Canada hockey gold-medallists Micah Zandee-Hart of Saanichton and Dylan Garand of Langford.
Riley Pickrell was named male athlete of the year, as chosen by the selection committee. He had a breakthrough pro season in Europe with the Israel Cycling Academy team and won the fourth stage of the U-23 Giro d’Italia before representing Canada in the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games. Hall of Fame golfer Jim Rutledge, who won the 2022 PGA Seniors Championship of Canada for his seventh career title in the event, will accept the Victoria male senior athlete of the year award. Cyclist Heather Simonson will receive the senior female athlete accolade.
There was a tie for team of the year with the UVic Vikes field hockey squad and Camosun Chargers volleyball team, both national champions, named co-winners. The coach of the year award was also a tie and will go to the respective retiring mentors of the Vikes women’s field hockey and Camosun men’s volleyball squads — Lynne Beecroft and Charles Parkinson, both former national-teamers.
