Keith Stott Memorial Award

▲Top

This award is named in memory of Keith Stott who passed away in 1990. His children continue to play and referee with the WVFC club through their graduation from high school.

Keith was a passionate soccer Coach who loved the beautiful game. Keith's first goal was the encouragement of the players. He always managed to find positive comments, even in the most difficult situations for his players.

Throughout his coaching career he always focused on his players, explaining the game and options to them and always put them and their confidence before the result. Keith also helped develop the skills of many coaches.

This perpetual trophy is awarded annually to a deserving WVSC coach who has upheld Keith's standards. The winner receives a plaque to keep as a memento.

Gayle Fetterley Memorial Award

▲Top

Manager of the Year

This award is a perpetual award given for the first time in 2003/04. It is named in honour of Gayle Fetterley, a long-time, hard-working volunteer with the West Vancouver Football Club.

Gayle was involved in the Club for many years as a team manager and as a Board member. Gayle and her mother, Dorothy, are probably best known as the 'hot dog ladies' on Friday mornings at the Fun in the Sun soccer camps. Gayle, Dorothy and her late father, Harold was always on the sidelines at the Fetterley boys' games. Gayle died suddenly and unexpectedly in April 1999. The Club wishes to honour her memory by recognizing an outstanding manager who has exhibited a strong commitment to his or her team and to the goals of the West Vancouver Soccer Club.

The perpetual trophy will be inscribed with the winner's name and will be held for one year. The winner will also receive a small plaque to keep as a memento.

Safiya Mawani Memorial Award

▲Top

Awarded to a Girls U11 player who exemplifies Sportsmanship, determination and Positive Attitude

Safiya enjoyed many sports and one of her favorites was the game of soccer. She loved the teamwork and social aspect of the game, especially working together towards the same goal and being supported by great coaches. Playing soccer really helped her gain her confidence and build great friendships.

Whether it was winning or losing a game, Safiya’s reaction was always the same; a great big smile on her face. Safiya always tried to do her best and applied this positive attitude to whatever she did. We learned a lot from her .

The Safiya Mawani Memorial Award will be awarded annually to a player at the Girls U11 age group who best exemplifies Safiya’s qualities of sportsmanship, determination, and positive attitude.

Erin Moore Memorial Award

▲Top

Awarded to a GU12 player who exemplifies Bravery, Courage and Individuality

On December 21st of 2014, the WVSC lost one of its brightest lights. Erin Kate Moore was doing what she loved, being outside hiking on the North Shore Mountains, when she was fatally injured in a rock slide.

She was not with our club for very long, but she loved playing with her West Van GU8 Yellow Stars team. She was happiest outdoors and naturally athletic: a true West Van girl.

She embraced her teammates as a wonderful friend, played passionately, all the while encouraging fair play on the field.

The Erin Moore Memorial Award will be awarded annually to a player at the Girl’s U12 age group who best exemplifies Erin’s qualities of bravery, courage and individuality.

Bob McGowan Memorial Award

▲Top

Most Sportsmanlike U13 Player

The parents of Bob McGowan donated this trophy to the West Vancouver Soccer Club in the spring of 1956 in memory of their son Bob who died in 1946. Bob had been a member of the Irwin Park Rangers soccer team at the time of his death.

When Bob's teammates were in their twenties, one of their strongest memories of Bob was that he "possessed all the qualities of good sportsmanship". This award was established as an example for all the lads to follow in their future.

The Bob McGowan Award is a perpetual award given annually to a WVSC U13 player who best exemplifies good sportsmanship.

Most Improved Team

This award was first presented in 1976 in memory of Nigel Lankester who was accidentally killed while working for his company, the Tree People. Nigel had been a fireman in West Vancouver for many years before starting his own business. The W.V.F.D. sponsored this award as a memorial to Nigel at the time of his death to commemorate Nigel's love of the game of soccer and his years of playing for the Club.

This award is presented annually to a Divisional Boys or Girls team showing the most improvement over the season. Team members share the original trophy for one year. Each team member also receives a small trophy to keep.

Michael Tan Memorial Award

▲Top

Most Inspirational Mini Coach of the Year

This award is named in memory of Michael Tan who passed away suddenly as a result of a car crash on the Sea to Sky highway on Saturday April 16, 2005.

Michael was a dedicated WVSC coach, great community volunteer and a loving father, husband and friend. Jack MacNeill, Mike's assistant coach, described Michael as follows: "Mike was the heart and soul of the Eagles team whose dedication and enthusiasm had gone unmatched for years." Jack also states, Mike was "a healthy, positive role model that any young boy could look up to and model with pride and confidence." Finally, Mike "had great aspirations of seeing the team playing as a strong unit, having fun and encouraging each other to play to new heights." Above all, he wanted the Eagles to feel good about themselves and the team they represented.

This perpetual award will be presented yearly to a deserving Mini coach who has upheld Michael's standards. The trophy is inscribed with the winner's name and is held by the recipient for one year. The winner receives a small plaque to keep as a memento.

Clark De Boer Scholarship

▲Top

West Van FC lost an important member in Clark DeBoer. Clark was our West Vancouver Football Club equipment manager. Clark’s positive influence on North Shore and West Vancouver Soccer goes back decades. Clark’s North Shore Youth Soccer Association work included scheduling the Mini and House games for the District. Clark also sat on the NSYSA Board and always stood up for what he thought was best for all youth. For the WVFC, Clark used to be the event organizer and helped with tournaments and took care of all the trophies for our awards night, and he did whatever was needed to ensure North Shore and WVFC soccer ran smoothly.

In honour of Clark, we proudly give two scholarships to players who have displayed scholastic excellence and a special dedication to West Van FC.

Lee Hester Memorial Award

▲Top

This award commemorates Lee Hester and the tremendously positive impact that can be made on young players and their families by an outstanding youth soccer coach.

In 2017 Lee was diagnosed with a rare cancer and continued to coach his team. He did not miss a practice or game even when it was the only thing he did each week. Lee made his soccer team part of his community. He coached to build up each player and to create a team bond.

Soccer is a community sport that can be an avenue for self confidence, comradery and a positive influence for all youth. This award is presented to a coach who demonstrates a focus on building community through their team and works to build each player up. It is to highlight the efforts of a coach who sees the value in team and player, regardless of the score board.
