Community Player of the Month
Hunter Graham – Brooks Jr. Bandits

Whether it’s getting younger kids ready for recess, serving breakfast at school, or picking up pucks after practice, he’s always there with a big smile on his face. His kindness radiates to those around him. Hunter is the type of kid and player that makes teachers and coaches want to do what they do. Last but certainly not least, Hunter is involved in the Alcoma Community Kids Club and was recently the recipient of a kindness award, as well as an athletic award at school.
