Alicia Zabaneh: Winner of the 2025-26 Leaside Hockey Spirit Award!

🏆 Congratulations to Alicia Zabaneh, winner of the LHA Spirit Award! 🏆

We’re thrilled to celebrate Alicia Zabaneh, manager of our U14 Gold Select team, as the recipient of the George Turrell Spirit Award for the 2025-26 season.

In just her second year as manager, Alicia has made an incredible impact—earning glowing praise from her team:
✨ “She embodies a positive attitude and spirit that is unrivalled.”
❤️ “She is the backbone, heart, and soul of our team!”
🌟 “She is always the first to the arena and the last to leave, making sure everyone has all they need (water, rides to and from the arena, post-game snacks, and awesome swag when we are away at tournaments).”
⭐ “She is warm, caring, and approachable, and we couldn’t manage without her.”
✨ “She genuinely wants every player on the team to have a great experience, and I have yet to have had a team with a better manager across many, many hockey seasons.”

We are extremely grateful to have individuals like Alicia in the LHA community and we’re delighted to recognize her exceptional contributions with this well-deserved award.

👏 Congratulations Alicia!
