Every year, choosing the recipients is the hardest and most rewarding part. This group stood out for their curiosity, heart, and how they see the game. Exactly what Jason championed. Mentoring young writers matters; their voices shape the future of hockey storytelling. 💙💚

What started as a tribute to Jason has become a launchpad for young hockey writers to be seen, heard, and taken seriously in hockey media.
To the Canucks, mentors, and every writer who shows up with heart—thank you!
Best of luck to the applicants!

Great night raising money for the Easter Seals. Personally impacted hard this year! Our very own Cody Hodgson is a huge supporter! BTW.. He LOVED his time as a Canuck! 💙

🌟 One week left to apply for The Botchford Project! I am choosing 3 candidates this season for the January 21st game! The day entails attending the morning skate, interacting with Canucks players in the locker room, mentorship from Sports Journalists and covering the game from the press box later that night!

Oh, how this day weighs heavy on my heart. Five years ago today we lost Jason 😢. I can still hear his infectious laugh and him saying “bro, do your dekes”. Gone way too soon but never ever forgotten! ❤️
