Markowski’s ‘rollercoaster’ year ends with Sportsman award
Shortly after the Prince Albert Mintos won the Telus Cup in the longest game in history on April 27, winning goaltender Connor Ingram could have dedicated the win to a lot of people. Mintos teammate Dakota Boutin who scored the triple overtime winner would have been a good choice.
But instead, Ingram fittingly chose team president Zenon Markowski.
Markowski had a stroke during the Mintos’ playoff push, but was able to be there with the team during their Telus Cup victory. He’ll be presented with the Sportsman of the Year Award during the 7th Annual Kinsmen/Raiders Sportsman Banquet Saturday at the Art Hauser Centre.
“I wouldn’t want to win a championship for any another guy, he just does so much for us,” said Ingram after the victory. “Just like the rest of the board, we don’t have to worry about anything. It’s great to bring one home for him.”
