The Legends Player of the Playoffs program is all about recognizing players who display great sportsmanship and positive spirit during their playoff games. This is a prize that is unique to our Legends leagues.

How it works: At the conclusion of each playoff game, each team nominates a player on the opposing team who displayed great sportsmanship and had a positive attitude throughout their match. All nominated players are entered into a draw and one lucky winner is chosen as the Legends Player of the Playoffs for each Legends league.

Prize: Legends Player of the Playoffs winners are awarded a $50 gift card to a SSC sponsor bar.

Thanks to all our Legends Player of the Playoff winners for displaying great sportsmanship even during the most intense games of the season!

Player of the Playoffs

Summer 2017 Player of the Playoffs Bio
Orlando Trulli
Team: Orlando's Magic

Night/Div/Sport: Legends Thursday Recreational Floor Hockey
Nominated by: GC - Shirley Gaudin

Experience in the Legends League:

Orlando has played with the ESSC for 29 seasons, 2 of which have been in our Legends league. He has the following to say about his experience: "My name is Orlando Trulli and I play for Orlando's Magic in Legends League. The appeal of Legends for me was the comraderie amongst the teams and fun first attitude. The best part about Legends League is the people...it's always guaranteed to be a fun and competitive game without being overly aggressive."

 
Spring 2017 Player of the Playoffs Bio
Jeff Grimson
Team: The Healthy Scratches

Night/Div/Sport: Legends Thursday Recreational Floor Hockey
Nominated by: Geri-Hat-Tricks

Experience in the Legends League:

It has been my pleasure to be able to play in the Old Farts league (since its inception).  It is tiring for us old men to chase those young whipper snappers around.  Mind you, I didn't have that problem playing goal and all, but I digress.  The chance to play with like-minded players and the ability to share stories of various geriatric issues has been a true blessing.
Winter 2017 Player of the Playoffs Bio
Carolina Diaz
Team: The Healthy Scratches

Night/Div/Sport: Legends Thursday Recreational Floor Hockey
Nominated by: Individuals Team - One Timers

Experience in the Legends League:

I joined the ESSC for the first time in September and became a member of the rookie group on Facebook. A picture popped up of one of my friends with their Floor Hockey team and I thought it looked like it'd be fun! Immediately thereafter, I asked my friend all about it and I was on a mission. I started texting all my friends to see who would be interested in playing Floor Hockey on a 35+ team on Thursday nights.
I was able to put a team together for the Winter season and we had so much fun that we've decided to play in the Spring as well. The Legends league is super friendly so new players to the game, like myself, can still have a lot of fun!

Nominated by: Individuals Team - Eberle Hills 90210

Experience in the Legends League:

I first started playing in the ESSC in the Summer of 2009. Floor Hockey is definitely my favorite ESSC sport. I really enjoyed playing Floor Hockey in the ESSC Legends League as it's a great way to stay active and meet new people.
