Longtime Hurricanes board member honoured with WHL Distinguished Service Award
LETHBRIDGE – Western Hockey League Commissioner Ron Robison made a special trip to Lethbridge Friday (Mar. 17), to recognize a longtime supporter of the Lethbridge Hurricanes and the WHL.
Herman Elfring was given the WHL Distinguished Service Award, prior to puck drop between the Hurricanes and Medicine Hat Tigers.
Before retiring from his position as Governor of the Lethbridge Hurricanes ahead of the 2016-17 season, Elfring served as a board member for the team for 23-seasons, club president for three seasons – which included a WHL championship in 1997 – and as a member of the WHL Finance Committee for 10-years.
Speaking with the media, Robison outlined what makes Elfring stand out as a recipient.
