A little bit of perspective
There wasn’t a Travis Roy Award in existence when Jeff Libby was at Waterville High School, playing for Norm Gagne. In fact, Libby is astounded at the growth of high school hockey since 1992, his senior year.
“You see teams today, and some of the better teams that didn’t even exist a few years ago, programs like Bonny Eagle and Gray-New Gloucester/Poland," said Libby, who played at the University of Maine and in the AHL. "Any time you can get teams and get people involved, that’s great for hockey.”
Libby will be the keynote speaker at Sunday's Maine Class A Hockey banquet in Lewiston, where the Travis Roy Award will be presented to the top senior in Class A hockey.
