WOLFVILLE, N.S. - After a standout debut season in the blue and gold which included winning four OUA awards, Rams forward Kyle Bollers picked up national recognition on Wednesday afternoon prior to the start of the University Cup national championship.

Bollers was recognized for his commitment in the community, earning the Dr. Randy Gregg award for community service. Bollers works hard to ensure that equity seeking communities are being represented and given the same opportunity to play hockey and learn the game. Bollers works with the Black Aces hockey program helping kids learn to skate and is a volunteer assistant coach with the York Mills U18 AA hockey team. He also raises funds through his Against All Odds (AAO) brand of clothing in support of underserved communities and for breast cancer awareness.

Bollers becomes the second Ram to earn the award at the national level, following Aaron Armstrong's win in the 2016-17 season.
