Many congratulations to John! We’ve just welcomed our daughter into the world not quite 8 weeks ago. It’s a joy and an endurance sport all at once (what Bill said is on point).
Congratulations John! I think you are right on the Rookie of the Year topic and Bill nicely articulated Spirit of the Year! Panchik, Heppner, Holte, Briggs, Voigt-Miller,.. Food for thought: could there be an Age group Spirit of the Year (needs a highlight reel to make fans aware of their contributions), eg Jason Grubb does a lot to drive growth of the sport in the Masters division, which brings a well-off demographic.
