Scholarship
The Christian J. Sanborn Teammate Award
The Christian J. Sanborn Teammate Award scholarship has been presented annually since 2006 to a graduating senior hockey player at Madison West High School.
Teammate Awards are not reserved for the best players or the players with the best grades or highest SAT scores; but rather are given to the student-athlete who best exemplifies what it means to be a teammate, both on and off the playing field.
The scholarship may be used for any post high-school education.
Recipients are awarded in late May at the Madison West Honors Convocation at Madison West High School.
