Since its establishment in 1994, this award has been presented annually to individuals who have demonstrated exceptional involvement in 5-pin bowling.

Pat tirelessly organized tournaments, created computer programs, coached both young and adult players and attended meetings to ensure that Norther Ontario received its fair share.
