The Scholastic Awards Achievement Ceremony includes a character component. Each travel team will work to embed character development into their team culture throughout the season. At the end of the season, the head coach will nominate one player who best represents the traits promoted by the #11forJacob movement. The nominated player should be an excellent example of a player working hard to live these traits both on and off the ice, in the classroom, and at home. Personal character, not athleticism, is the focus of this award. Individual head coaches may determine how the players are selected from their teams. The nominated player may meet the established scholastic requirements, but this is NOT required.
#11forJacob Movement - Character Traits
This movement centers around 11 simple traits that Jacob valued: Be fair, Be kind, Be understanding, Be honest, Be thankful, Be a good sport, Be a good friend, Be joyful, Be generous, Be gentle with others, Be positive.
