In honor of our Crunch editor @Allovimo (with our sympathy and best wishes), we’ll begin with Syracuse Crunch news today, and luckily, it’s lovely! For the second year in a row, the Syracuse Crunch have named Daniel Walcott the recipient of its IOA/American Specialty AHL Man of the Year award, given to the player who contributed the most to the community during the season.
All season Walcott recuperated from a preseason injury, but instead of focusing solely on rehabilitation, he poured his energy into the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, as well as attending as many other community fundraising activities with the Crunch as he could.
