The New England Hockey Writers Association will host its annual awards reception on April 23 at the Prince Restaurant in Saugus, Mass.<\/p>\n

The event will include not only the New England writers\u2019 honorees but will also serve to present the recipients of the Walter Brown Award and Joe Concannon Award, given by the Gridiron Club of Boston, to the top American-born hockey players in New England. In addition, the Eastern Massachusetts Ice Hockey Officials will present the J. Thom Lawler Award.<\/p>\n

Among the honorees are New England MVPs Devon Bobak of Trinity (men) and Meg Rittenhouse of Colby (women). Coach of the year awards go to Matt Greason of Trinity (men) and Katie Zimmerman of Western New England (women).<\/p>\n

The evening will also include the presentation of the following awards sponsored by other organizations: the Gridiron Club of Boston honors the top American-born male hockey players in New England with the Joe Concannon Award, named after the former Boston Globe<\/i> sportswriter. Devon Bobak of Trinity is this year\u2019s recipient. The J. Thom Lawler Award, presented by the Eastern Massachusetts Ice Hockey Officials goes to Thomas Kramer of Babson.<\/p>\n

The evening will end with the presentation of the Parker-York Award for contributions to New England hockey. This year\u2019s recipient is retired Salem State men\u2019s coach Bill O\u2019Neill, who won 626 games in a 42-year career as the Vikings\u2019 head coach. A 1978 graduate of Boston University, O\u2019Neill contributed to the Terriers 1978 NCAA championship, taking a regular shift on defense for coach Jack Parker.<\/p>\n

The New England Division II-III honorees have also been announced for both men and women.<\/p>\n
