JEFF PLUNKETT MEMORIAL AWARD
The Jeff Plunkett Memorial award recognizes a graduating player who demonstrates the club's values.
The 2018-19 award is kindly funded by the support of fundraising efforts through the sale of May’s Café coffees and teas at Royals tournaments throughout the season, BDABO and Thunderhoops.
This scholarship award was founded in the 2017 season in memory of Jeff Plunkett. He was sadly taken from his family, friends and community in a tragic motorcycle accident in June 2017. Jeff was a Barrie Royals player and his coaches and teammates fondly remember him for his positive attitude, coachability and determination to always bring his A game on and off the court.
