The Jim “Uncle Hockey” Gaudreau Commitment Award
I don’t know why exactly, but I find it super cool that Jim Gaudreau, uncle to former-Flame, Johnny, is still a fan of the Calgary Flames and actively supports the team on social media despite the fact his nephew is no longer on the team. Uncle Hockey displays commitment in the face of adversity and isn’t scared to show his pride for the team. For this, we thank Jim and will recognize his commitment with an award that goes to the member of the Flames organization who displays the greatest commitment to the club this season.
Commitment, it should be noted, is different from passion. It may come in the form of perseverance through challenge or as dedication despite difficulty.
Flame for Thought may request participation from Flames fans on Twitter/X and Facebook to select the winner from a list of candidates.
